The president of Toyota cars, Akio Toyoda, has been making the rounds recently to re-assure customers that he still makes the best cars in the world. “I personally insure the quality of every car”, said Mr. Toyoda, “because my name is on every Toyota.”
Now why should we trust anything said by a man that can’t even spell his own name.
Curt Schiller responded to Martha Coakley claiming that he was a Yankee fan in his tweet today that read…”what does she know…she throws like a girl!”
Martha in the meantime e-mailed Tom Brady today and wished him all the best against the Colts next week-end.
Swiss watch maker TAG Heuer has just agreed to continue to feature Tiger Woods in it’s print ads for an annual fee of $12 million to be paid in monthly installments.
Tiger is expected to make the first payment to TAG Heuer on Jan. 1st. The watch maker said that it agreed to the low rate they are charging Tiger because of “our long relationship with world’s best golfer.”
Woods is reported to be offering as much as $30 million a year to any new corporate sponsor that is willing to feature him as a spokesperson. As an added bonus, he is willing to agree to a morals clause that would prohibit sex with anyone whose job involves nightclubs, restaurants, churches, schools, entertainment, airlines, taxi cabs, limosines, party planning, the Playboy mansion or farms.
Author Sebastian Junger must have received quite a jolt this morning when he read the Boston Globe’s review of “Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman. According to the reviewer, John Dufresne, the author of “Where Men…” ,Jon Krakauer, also wrote “The Perfect Storm” which of course was actually written by Mr. Junger. Too bad, because Mr. Krakauer has also written several excellent page turners of his own including “Into Thin Air” and “Into The Wild” for which he was uncredited. Reviewer Mr. Dufresne, also an author, was either too busy writing his new book (for which I will withhold any publicity in deference to Mr. Junger) or he’s breathing too much thin air himself. Then again, one has to wonder if the Globe’s recent layoffs included the entire Sunday editor’s staff.
