Marketing while drunk

Budweiser just renamed its beer "America." Of course. Starting on May 23 and running through the November election, tossing back a Bud means you love your country as much as you love your buzz. It's not weird at all that the beer is owned by a Belgian company. This is about blind patriotism, people! So get ready to hit the beach, fire up the grill and kick back with this summer's most epic marketing gimmick. Land of the free. Home of the beer.

If you swaddle your baby, read this

It's a truth as old as time. To get newborns to sleep, you swaddle them. But a new analysis says there are things parents need to consider when they wrap. Researches found babies who were swaddled were twice as likely to die from SIDS if they were laid on their stomachs or sides. Takeaway: Back is still always best. The analysis also found swaddling could be risky for older children who can move from their backs into a dangerous position while sleeping. Takeaway: Once your baby starts to roll, consider ditching the swaddle. Sweet, safe dreams.

There was never any doubt: Curry is MVP

Stephen Curry has done something that Michael Jordan could never do. Shaquille O’Neal missed out on it, too. Even LeBron James hasn’t been able to achieve it yet. On Tuesday, Curry became the first player to be unanimously voted the NBA’s most valuable player — that’s 130 voters who agreed on what we all already knew. Curry is only the 11th player to earn the title in consecutive seasons, and he did it just a day after a stunning back-from-injury performance in the Golden State Warriors’ overtime win vs. the Portland Trail Blazers in the Western Conference Semifinals.

Obama is headed to Hiroshima (but he's not apologizing)

President Obama will soon become the first sitting president to visit Hiroshima, Japan, since 1945, and it isn’t difficult to see why others have avoided it. The visit is to a location that's a complicated piece of American and Japanese history. The U.S. attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 forced the Japanese surrender that ended World War II; in Hiroshima, an estimated 80,000 Japanese were killed almost instantly and 40,000 more people died of injuries by year’s end. American veterans groups have urged Obama not to visit until the Japanese apologize for the wartime treatment of American prisoners of war, and they say Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has tried to whitewash Japan’s wartime conduct. Is Obama's visit an apology for the nuclear attacks? The White House says no, but many Japanese may take it that way.
