Stupid is as Stupid Does

Where in the world is the USA? Don't know? Miss Teen South Carolina 2007 tells us why many Americans can't find their homeland on a map, or does she?

If you are the Marketing Director for a beauty pageant, how would you convince us that anyone should believe these things are good for anything or anyone? Or that these woman are being helped in any way? What is the message we get from beauty pageants? And is Miss Teen South Carolina's response to this question in the video below an aberration or does it say something about the girls and women who enter beauty pageants? You be the judge.

The Eyes Have It, and the Winner Is...

Last week, I asked you to look at these speakers by Proclaim Audioworks that are currently called the DMT-100 model. I shared that the company says the cases used for it  "are the best shape to originate sound because of their characteristically smooth frequency response," and then challenged you to come up with a sexier name than the DMT-100. Here are the names submitted:

• AudEYEo Sound from Cam Beck
• ICU Audio System from Cam Beck
• audioEYE from Morgan
• Monster Sound from Becky Carroll
• AudioEye from Jim Lane
• hears have eyes from Gianandrea Facchini
• Socketumi's from Ryan Karpeles

One of the surprises is that the daughter of the Company's President submitted a name that was actually chosen twice, with only the placement of capital letters the difference between them, "audioEYE" and "AudioEye". I loved Ryan's "Socketumi," as I was a huge "LaughIn" fan. Cam got me with "ICU Audio System" and Becky's "Monster Sound" is really descriptive. My Italian friend Gianandrea went creative and submitted "hears have eyes."

But I promised to pick a winner to receive a copy of my forthcoming book, Lead With Your Heart. However, I can't pick just one because my favorite was submitted by two people. And the winners are:

audioEYE and AudioEye.

Morgan and Jim, send me your mailing addresses (click here), and I will send you each a book, as soon as it hits the bookstores. Congratulations!
