One of Those Head-Scratching Moments...

I'm browsing through the blog of Tim Ferriss [The 4-Hour Work Week author] when I come across a link to one of his posts within his post. [If you haven't noticed, I've somewhat modeled my blog after his - or tried to, anyway. I have no idea how that's working out for me, but it's something to do.]

While I was simply expecting to read about his take on extreme outsourcing [I haven't even read the post yet], I find a video embedded into the post. I could tell that it was a news story from the caption - but I didn't pay attention to the network that it came from.

"Many U.S. Parents Outsourcing Child Care Overseas"

Talk about a shocker. And I was drinking a Coke at that particular moment, so you can imagine the possible mess that would have made. Thank you, Gas Chamber. [It's an Army training thing - you can calm down now.]

Of course, this is a news story from The Onion, so I just laughed through the entire thing. It amazes me that these "newscasters" can keep a straight face when reading these stories.

And of course, when I go to the website to check my link, what do I find?

"Black Guy Asks Nation For Change"

It's an article about Barack Obama, but you can't help but see the humor in it. Even though it's a little on the racist side. We'll let that slide for humor's sake.

P.S. I mentioned Tim Ferriss in a press release that I wrote today for the Houston Business Journal. We'll see if it gets picked up. Cross your fingers for me.
