Tuesday morning FREE STUFF TO GIVE AWAY edition!!
So the people at Zibra read my book and got in touch with me. They were so cool, in fact, that they sent me three of the greatest gifts known to man.
Honestly, this is something I never knew I needed, until I got it. Now I can’t live without it.
It’s a pair of scissors, I guess, is the best way to describe it - DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR OPENING THE IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN PLASTIC PACKAGES IN WHICH EVERYTHING SEEMS TO COME NOWADAYS.
Today I got home to find that my new wireless link for my HD TiVo was here. Awesome. Except it was in the open-proof plastic package.
Three snips of my Zibra Open It! and the link was out of the box, ready to be installed.
This is the greatest thing in the world.
Anyhow - I’ve got two of them to give away.
Let’s see… Give me…
Hmm…
Give me a PR Christmas Carol.
Come up with words to fit a classic, like Jingle Bells, or Silent Night, but make it PR-centric.
Best two get posted and get an "Open It!" Judging to be done by cool people other than myself.
Deadline: A week from today. Tuesday, December 4th, 12pm EST.
Email me your submissions.
Go.
And Thanks to Lane Ball over at Zibra!

It’s not really set to any song that I can think of, but here goes:
If you want to have Christmas jubilations,
Remember these rules of public relations,
First, don’t let your brain go a’wiltin’
Or you’ll wind up like Paris Hilton
Second, though you may think it great fun,
Don’t send blind pitch e-mails to Chris Anderson,
Third, if you want to really enjoy your candied yams,
don’t sign up for Quechup’s mass spams,
Fourth, work your mind to the sharpness of a razor,
and maybe even allow yourself to be zapped by a Taser,
Fifth, if you want to be given a serious look,
Don’t post your drunken party pic on Facebook,
Sixth, find things that you find thrilling and fun,
Then go and write about it in the New York Sun,
Seventh, even if life is hard, laugh and dance,
like those laid-off folks at AOL France,
Eighth, spend much time thinking out of the box,
and always spend much time appearing on Fox,
Follow those rules of public relations,
And you’ll be on your way to holiday jubilation
Not a song, but can you please do them a service and ask them to fix the typos on this? There should not be apostrophes in CDs and DVDs in their headline! These are plurals! No, the editor in me will never die…
hahahaha give that man the scissors so he can run with them, love the jingle
I saw Jane Gertler last night and she told me about the blog that you wrote about this gadget. Gee…if my mom, my brother and my husband didn’t know each other, I would buy one for each of them. I’m still on the hook for a gift even if I buy one for each of my peeps.
Will TSA confiscate this?
