no workout videos and most of all no deodorant. category two, nothing that makes mom work. kitchen appliances and pets, bad idea. but by far, the worst offender, breakfast in bed. sure. you mean well. but unless you're planning to clean up, i'm telling you, this is not the egg mick muffin of mother's day presents. second, nothing for you, fellahs. no big tv. and no tickets to see the a ven jerz in imax -- a ven a vengers in imax. don't buy her a really bad hat. and look here, clueless, no gift certificates. she's your mother, for god sake, and no says i love you, mom, like i have no idea what you really want so i gave up and gave you this. but the number one gift, you should never, ever buy mom, lingerie. because even if she does look like this, let's be real, from

you, she would rather have the deodorant. anita. >> oh, derek. okay. if you want to respond to something derek has to say or just watch any of his let's be real commentaries one more time, head over to the let's be real web page. it's part of our web page. roll over features. you've heard of distracted driving. we talk about it. but how about distracted walking. that can now get you fined in one new jersey town. inattentive walkers have caused nearly two dozen accidents this year alone. the chief has tried handing out pamphlets, brochures to hand people of the danger, but now he's taking it up a notch. they are citing pedestrians that do not use crosswalks. now to philadelphia and the hot coffee assault. police are looking for a customer that threw hot coffee at a clerk in a doughnut shop.
