Happy Thanksgiving

My favorite holiday has arrived.

Not a good day to be one of these guys.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

Marketing 101

A New Dawn has arrived not only in movie theaters (which I will talk about later) but also in today’s marketing world.

This video is quite simply perfect.

Cheers to John St. in Toronto for this splendid piece of work.

Right Now

It’s the day before Thanksgiving and there is a boquet of mama’s in this country with breast cancer. And they don’t know it.

This weekend San Diego was host to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-day, a 60-mile walk that passes through all the major nooks and neighborhoods in town. People in pink, men in tutus, ladies twirling brasiers, spectators holding up handwritten signs like “Boobs are forever!” and “Stop the war in my rack. Yes We Can”. And yet, despite all this support and fundraising and successes we’ve had in the fight against breast cancer, it’s still been 2-years since a perverse, bought and paid for government task force concluded that women in their 40′s don’t need to be getting mammograms with regularity.

Translation: The Insurance companies have bought themselves another government “ruling” so that they can use that ruling to adjust what they will cover in their insurance policies.

I support the capitalism in this country. I WANT innovative hardworking people to make money in this country.

But not at the expense of people’s health.

This is unacceptable.

If you are a mama go get mammograms REGULARLY, and whenever you want.

I give you permission to walk into an emergency room, give false information, and get checked.

It could be the single biggest reason why we need to regulate and reform the system. And shame on our government.

So irresponsible it hurts my stomach.
