Another Day, Another Cheating Scumbag!


Former New York Giants running back and current NBC Today Show and Football Night in America correspondent Tiki Barber announced that he and his wife, Ginny, are calling it quits after 11 years and two children - soon to be four as Ginny is 8 months pregnant with twins. Here's Tiki's official statement:


"After 11 years of marriage, Ginny and I have decided to seperate. This decision was a painful one, but we are moving foward amicably and will continue to work together to raise our children with the love and dedication they have always known."


It is a nice statement and all, but Tiki left out a ton of important information. Like, Traci Johnson, the 23-year old NBC intern he has been secretly dating for at least three years now.


To make matters even worse, Tiki has condemned his own father in the past for doing the same thing!


"I dont give a [bleep] that the realtionship didn't work," he said of his parents' split in a 2004 interview. "Not only did he abandon her, I felt like he abandoned us for a portion of our lives. I have a hard time forgiving that."


Nice going, Tiki.

Winter Olmypics: Ciao, Adios, Njichaabira, Au Revoir !!


(Those silly words in the headline mean goodbye, for the less cultures TYPer's lol)


The Winter Olympics came to a close a few days ago, and what an exciting few weeks it has been in Vancouver! Everyone's top moments differ, but mine had to be the emergence of Sidney Crosby from he Candian Hockey team, the Canadia Women's Tockey Team's kick-ass, on ice celebration, and of course Joannie Rochette's brave skate for the bronze medal.

See you in 2014!

Nestle Hotline

I think this idea was a great marketing strategy. Job well done Nestle! Previously I had never heard about it until reading the article. The idea of the hotline shows a "fun" side to this company. It definitely was a great way to reel people in because I was very curious when I read about it. Not to say I immediately ran out to pick myself up a Nestle's crunch bar, but next time one catches my eye I will definitely think about this!

Soutwest Airlines BIG Mistake!

Pulling film director Kevin Smith off his flight because of his "size" has got the limelight on Southwest Airlines. Kevin Smith was pulled off the plane for being "too big" and not having two seats for the flight when he actually does fit in one, very bizarre! Southwest did not handle this situation well at all and is now saying they "could have potentially handled their communication better." Well that's for sure! Before this incident Southwest had the lowest number of customer complaints among US airlines in the past year. Southwest PR is really going to have to do some damage control here. I feel people now who are the least bit on the heavyside will be afraid to use this airline because of this incident. They are going to have to come up with something pretty damn good to fix this catastrophe.

Disastrous Publicity Stunts!

When it comes to disastrous publicity stunts a few stand out in my mind. The most recent one I can think of was Balloon Boy! This is the boy who supposedly floated away in a homemade air craft/balloon made by his father. The stunt this family conducted clearly went very very wrong. This was just was just one big PR disaster that the whole world knew about that was this family's quest for their 15 minutes of fame! All this family has to look foward to now is prison time and serious fines.

Another stunt gone wrong I will always remember was Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake's performance during Superbowl XXXVIII. Janet's right breast was revealed while singing on stage. MTV had claimed they had no prior knowledge of the stunt and called it unplanned, unrehearsed, and completely unintentional. CBS was fined $550,000 by the FCC. To this day I wonder if it really was a "wardrobe malfunction?"

PR Stunts

Entrepreneaur Magazine released an article highlighting 5 of the worst and 10 of the best publicity stunts. I had never heard of any of these stunts before, but I definitely had a few laughs reading this article. All these publicity stunts were very interesting. I think the Vodafone one with having two mean run across the field naked was not the smartest but definitely most hilarious. My favorite stunt was snapple who attempted to build the world's largest popsicle in Times Square in NY but failed at this attempt when it started to melt and cover the streets in a stick mess!
