Just about everything is popping up on the Internet these days, with cell phones having the capabilities of video taping just about anything, and being able to upload onto Youtube.  TTC has been experiencing some difficulties lately experiencing several of their employees showing up on the net, and now 2 teachers from a Canadian school were caught on tape during a pep rally acting inapropriately in front of students as young as 13 years old.  It goes to show, proper judgement needs to be made on a daily basis, as you never know when you’re going to end up on the Internet.

This lady From New Jersey sure has something to say about MTV’s reality Jersey Shore.

This goes to show how powerful Social Media has become for the success or demise of an organization.

A musician named Dave Carroll recently had difficulty with United Airlines. United apparently damaged his treasured Taylor guitar (worth $3500) during a flight. Dave spent over 9 months trying to get United to pay for damages, but to no avail.

During his final exchange with their Customer Relations Manager, Dave stated that he was left with no choice other than to create a music video for You Tube exposing their lack of cooperation. The Manager responded: “Good luck with that one, pal”.

So Dave posted a retaliatory video on You Tube. The video has since received well over 6 million hits. United Airlines contacted the musician and attempted settlement in exchange for pulling the video. Naturally his response was: “Good luck with that one, pal”.

As a bit of an aside, Taylor Guitars recently sent Dave 2 new custom guitars in appreciation of the product recognition they received in the video. Apparently it has lead to a sharp increase in orders.

In days of old, we used to say: “Serve them well and people will tell a couple of friends… but serve them badly, they’ll tell twenty!” I guess the numbers need a little updating.

“Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas  decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after 2 days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever.Great stories. But two things made me take it down.

First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by.

Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn’t realize it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn’t take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard.”
