If Rosie and Donald Trump Were in a Street Fight - Who Would Win?

GSN.com is taking Rosie O'Donnell and Donald Trump's "war of the words" literally, launching a new Internet online game last Friday featuring the two in an animated street fight, duking it out in true fashion in "Rosie vs. Trump," located at www.GSN.com.

GSN's new online satirical game features an animated Rosie and Donald, who each punch, kick and inflict special attacks while insulting each other the entire time with actual barbs from statements made in the press. In this game, players first must choose which character that they will play as either Rosie or Donald. Both animated characters have punching, kicking and blocking functions.

The post-holiday season can produce a feeling of fullness and warmth -- but not for all. For many, this time is often the darkest of the year as winter has settled in for a long, dreary stay. In fact, a recent survey conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of Nature Made MoodPlus has brought confirmation to many U.S. adults' suspicions: winter blues are not a myth. Nearly two thirds of U.S. adults -- 64 percent -- agree that they are usually in a better mood during the summer than the winter.
