Afghanistan PowerPoint slide: Generals left baffled by PowerPoint slide

Well, here's the actual slide, believe it or not:

This slide should be shown in every "Presentation 101" class (whether it be in a college, university, or corporate training session). It is the antithesis of how to convey a message. What were they thinking - and what does this say about our thinking?

Wham-O Moves to America: From "The Daily Show"

Destined to be a classic - "The Daily Show" recently did a piece entitled, "Wham-O Moves to America." Yes, satirical, but Aasif Mandvi asked the CEO of Wham-O, Kyle Aguilar, that critical question in the era of global trade and production: "Does that mean Americans will have to produce their own plastic crap?" China's getting too expensive to produce in - uh oh!

Of course, this can also be true in one's personal life. Ah, a classic from the "olden days" of answering machines in the pre-digital era. Watch this Seinfeld classic:




The moral: Think before you leave that voice-mail, or hit send on that email, or make that post to Facebook, or make that Tweet....Your career...and/or your relationship....may very well depend on it!
