    John Hancock Offers $25 Apple Watches to Regular Exercisers

    John Hancock is offering customers who commit to regular exercise an Apple Watch Series 6 or an Apple Watch SE for as little as $25.

    John Hancock, life insurance company, has offered Apple Watches since 2017 as part of its John Hancock Vitality Program. The program provides steep discounts on the wearables in exchange for customers exercising. The company now includes Apple’s latest models in the program, offering both the Series 6 and the Apple Watch SE.

    “While John Hancock Vitality offers something for everyone, it can be especially impactful and beneficial for people in higher-risk health categories or those who are concerned about their personal health — something that is top of mind for many right now,” said Brooks Tingle, president and CEO of John Hancock Insurance. “Consumers are more mindful of their mortality and we’ve seen an increase in the demand for life insurance. In addition, people are more aware of their baseline health. That’s why we believe we have the right solutions for this time in history — life insurance that provides essential protection in the event of death, combined with the latest in personal health technology, including Apple Watch, to help our customers live longer, healthier lives.”

    The program requires customers to pay $25 plus tax, with the remaining balance divided into monthly payments over a two-year period. Customers who exercise regularly will see those payments reduced to as little as $0.

  • Constitution Tattoo Flub Gets Response From Julia Louis-Dreyfus

    The new Rolling Stone issue featuring a naked Julia Louis-Dreyfus has people buzzing – for the wrong reasons. While Louis-Dreyfus looks stunning on the cover, but people are paying more attention to the US constitution tattooed on her back. Below the constitution is the signature of Founding Father John Hancock – who never signed the constitution.

    In fact, it was the Declaration of Independence that the Second Continental Congress president signed.

    The misplaced attribution was noticed right away. John Hancock’s autograph is so famous that his name has become synonymous with the term ‘signature.’ Netizens turned to social media to question the obvious blunder.

    One user commented that John Hancock did not sign the constitution. Another asked how Rolling Stone could miss something this important.

    The National Constitution Center, located in Philadelphia, also commented on the cover flub, by tweeting a picture of the cover next to other Founding Fathers Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. A text said “Thanks for the shoutout,” before noting that Hancock is not included.

    According to a representative of the magazine, it was not a mistake, but was done only because the Declaration of Independence couldn’t fit in the image. Publicity director of Wenner Media, Melissa Bruno, said that the Declaration of Independence is on the other side, but the signatures couldn’t all fit. Louis-Dreyfus also responded on Twitter to criticism, saying it was another Mike f***-up, referring to the character Mike McLintock, the director of communications for the HBO comedy series Veep. She also called him a “dummy,” with the hashtag Veep and crackexcuse.

     

    The TV star’s cover focuses on her career as “The First Lady of Comedy.” After her successful role as Elaine Benes in Seinfeld, she is back as Selina Meyer, vice president of the United States in Veep. The series has been met with critical acclaim and won a number of awards.

    The Rolling Stone issue will hit newsstands on April 11.
