Hilarious Revenge Video against United Airlines

As social media continues to emerge, while customer service is neglected – perhaps Corporate America will understand that the old way of doing business no longer exists.  This homespun video has a hilarious message with good music and a few “South Park” style scenes.  United Airline’s stock plummeted 10% as a result of this video.  Read more about how the You Tube hit and how it evolved here:

Say it Isn’t So – Giving Up my Scooter

After a lot of contemplation, it’s time to give up my cherished scooter.  I’m just not finding time to ride it since my schedule changed last fall and I hate for it to sit in my garage.  Interested?  Still looks  just like the day I bought it with little mileage.  My Scooter

Burger King, SpongeBob and Recycling

Yes, I caved today and got over my boycott of Burger King due to the recent SpongeBob commercials with girls and square pants. I realize that kids – which are their target audience, are attracted to bodily functions and love anything with the yellow sponge guy (although I did not like the overtones that commercial had). I look back to Ren and Stimpy and how disgusting most of those shows were, yet we laugh about them still.

I do appreciate BK’s new efforts toward product waste. Here is the clever text from their new Double Duty Box: “A lot of people wonder why it was decided to make a two-cup carrier as opposed to say, a one cup carrier or a three-cup carrier. Well, a one-cup carrier is just called a cup. So that was pretty much out. And a three-cup container would have to be shaped into some strange triangle, and balancing that contraption would be more trouble than it’s worth. So we settled on two. Hopefully it serves you well.” This is made of brown cardboard with colored print but I’m just not sure it’s made of recycled materials or printed with low impact inks.

Why Are You Here? I Can’t Understand You

One of my pet peeves in both the virtual world and the real world is not being able to understand what people are up to and why.  Sometimes this occurs unintentionally and other times it’s by design.  A few examples:

I get a voicemail from somebody who uses my first name, wants to set up an appointment, but doesn’t tell me why.

I check out somebody on Twitter but their background is dark and the lettering is dark so I can’t really read their bio.  From the Zig Ziglar Blog: Read more here
