Capt. RJ Burns (aka dad) made his television debut last night.

Inside Smellvertising, the Scented Advertising Tactic Coming Soon to a City Near You
Bus stops are typically not the place where you want to hoover in a big noseful of air. Car exhaust, stale cigarettes and fresh urine – the noxious bouquet of mass transit is anything but welcoming.
In this hazy stinkscape of forlorn odors, a food company is launching a marketing campaign.
By the end of today, crews in London, Manchester, Glasgow and other U.K. cities will have outfitted 10 bus stops with large advertisements for “McCain Ready Baked Jackets,” a frozen baked-potato product that microwaves to readiness in 5 minutes. Each billboard includes a fiberglass potato sculpture and a mysterious button: Push it, and the tuber discharges the aroma of “slow oven-baked jacket potatoes.” Read more.

PR FAIL
When you send out an important release and then run to the bathroom and see a missed call from your target city on your cell when you back.
Convinced you’ve missed the biggest placement in America, you dial back and discover it was:
a survey from Comcast.
In case you wondering if I still watched Teen Mom.
Lots of heartbreak these days. I’m struggling through.
Little cocktail photo shoot at work today.
I have graciously tasted every recipe.

Chris returned to work today.
The wisdom tooth debacle has commenced.
Michigan State University surveyed more than 700 employers seeking to hire recent college graduates. Nearly one-third said parents had submitted resumes on their child’s behalf, some without even informing the child. One-quarter reported hearing from parents urging the employer to hire their son or daughter for a position. Four percent of respondents reported that a parent actually showed up for the candidate’s job interview.
