I enjoy commercials and witty news headlines. When they are good, they're memorable. If they stink, at least they don't last very long. One of the funniest headlines I've seen recently appeared today on The Drudge Report: The Ego Has Landed. The story referenced the International Olympic Committee selecting Rio de Janeiro to host the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. It had been assumed, at least by some, that Chicago would be selected as the host city, in large part due to a last minute visit made by the president, first lady, and the other "O" (Oprah). Alas, their celebrity and self-assurance were not enough to sway the vote.
While I'm pretty sure it's wrong, it's hard not to feel a little satisfied when the pompous are grounded. Especially considering that they were making such a "sacrifice" by jetting to Copenhagen (http://1ndl.sl.pt). Pride still does go before a fall.
