Just a reminder, Big Movies for Little Kids is playing today at Cobble Hill Cinemas. This afternoon, your little ones can laugh along with Kermit and the gang as they investigate the crime of the century in the Great Muppet Caper. And what better way to get through a Monday? I’d suggest buying tickets in advance–either online or at the box office (265 Court Street).

In a strangely ironic twist, protesters at the Ricky’s cosmetics store on Montague St. last week actually helped boost sales of the product they were picketing. Brooklyn Heights Blog reported that after the The “Brooklyn for Peace” protesters tried to stop folks from buying Ahava Dead Sea skin care products (made in the West Bank), it actually managed “to promote the region and boost the company’s business better than any ad campaign.” Cited is another piece from an Israeli news network which says shelves were quickly cleared of the products, allowing Ricky’s to feel pretty good about its luck. The moral of this story? Be careful what you wish for.
