YouTube Used in WMATA's Peep Show

Yep, even the DC Metro is getting into the Social Media/Video Sharing arena. Unbelievable. Its bizarrely intriguing though that the WMATA spokesperson just thought it might be a fun idea to use Peeps (an easter candy favorite) to encourage Nationals fans to take the metro to the new stadium because of already limited parking. I saw this first on WJLA (thanks Leon Harris!) and found the "Peep Show" by MetroOpensDoors on DCist. Check it out - not only is it amusing, but its consumer generated content leveraged by business at its finest. A shining example of what I wish agencies and clients dabbling in the social media world would get - a viral video doesn't have to have a lot of creativity and $$ behind it - just some originality.

DC Gun Ban No Good, Says U.S. Supreme Court - Go Arm Yourself!

Oh, wait - that was just me wishful thinking...  But, the good news is that the Supreme Court is doing a thorough review of the stupidest law ever written = DC's ban on guns, thanks to the Cato Institute.  Having read every line of the legislation, I feel I am empowered to call it stupid - and poorly written for that matter, regardless of what side you support.  I personally support my Second Amendment rights  I hope that the Supreme Beings use common sense... more on that later...

Obama On Race, Bear Sterns Collapses - I missed it all!

My poor neglected blog! I am completely immersed in 3 GIANT client deliverables and two new projects and thus, haven't had a moment to read news or do any searching online. I'm so out of it! I was last to find out the Bear Sterns went bust, apparently Obama made some speech on race and I missed it all (check out huffpost for full text)!! I promise to come back and post interesting, thought-provoking content just as soon as get these out the door!

One final thought to ponder in my absence: is Obama becoming the next Martin Luther King, Jr.? An icon of equality for generations to come?
