Hi all!
Hope everything is well... I would like to express my opinion on one of the Reality TV shows called " the Apprentice" on NBC.
I think the Apprentice is awesome and I'll tell you why.......
Mark Burnette, America's " Reality TV Guru" approaches Donald Trump to run a show ( if you haven't seen it), about every day people who seek employment with the Realty Icon, Donald Trump.
Trump get these people too...(on the latest eppisode) sell "Trump water".
So I ask you this, does anyone else think this is WILD?
Think about it.... all these Apprentice's go arround and visit Trump's golf course, they live in Trump's building ( which he is renovating for sale I might add), They vist friends of Trumps like Steinbrenner ( owner of the Yankee's), and now he gets them to sell a new product called " Trump Water".
Donald has just gotten an hour long advertisement, once a week, of his entire EMPIRE and its FREE EXPOSURE to him....and he probably takes a sallary for it!!
I also read in People magazine that the Apprentice is number two only to American Idol in the neilsen ratings.
My hat is off to you Donald, I admire you to no end.You just did a business Coup and no one even notices that you did it,it a really NON subliminal add, and in fact Burnette approached you!
This is the eppidomy of "sneak under the radar and sell a refridgerator to an eskimo".
It is like when you get a speeding ticket and then thank the officer for it afterwards and then an hour later, you go....." Damn, did I just thank that cop for a 150 dollar ticket?!"....lolololololol
any way.... this is somthing I just needed to say , so thanks for letting me tell it here.
Does anyone think the same way I do about this?
anyhooo.....
dont forget that I still run tourney's, week days and your all invited....might be good to get a few more lowman players there.TR5 mondays wedensdays and fridays 8AM pacific.
Take Care Rat :) miss you all
