Wham-O Moves to America: From "The Daily Show"



Destined to be a classic - "The Daily Show" recently did a piece entitled, "Wham-O Moves to America." Yes, satirical, but Aasif Mandvi asked the CEO of Wham-O, Kyle Aguilar, that critical question in the era of global trade and production: "Does that mean Americans will have to produce their own plastic crap?" China's getting too expensive to produce in - uh oh!

GEICO Fires Voice-over Actor for Leaving the Stupidest Voice Mail of All Time



Ironic twist, isn't it, for a voice-over actor to be fired for this. Leave it to Jon Stewart and the "Daily Show" crew to find a funny way to deliver the story.

Of course, this can also be true in one's personal life. Ah, a classic from the "olden days" of answering machines in the pre-digital era. Watch this Seinfeld classic:




The moral: Think before you leave that voice-mail, or hit send on that email, or make that post to Facebook, or make that Tweet....Your career...and/or your relationship....may very well depend on it!
