Dear Mr Trump - A Class Action Suggestion
First of all, many thanks to the kind folks at Clear Admit. They conducted a survey into the MBA blogging community, and in so doing, identified a Top 10 List of Blogs according to the votes of other bloggers and a special VIP panel of seasoned veterans. Special thanks to those of you out there you showed love to the IceMan. I was pleasantly surprised to be nominated, let alone be in the top 10. Cheers to those who voted for me, and congratulations to the winners. And in case you didn't know PowerYogi Rocks!
This business of the Top 10 List spawned an idea. I believe that the MBA Blogging Class of 2007 should band together, procure some face shots, dust off the resumes, and send a lpackage to Mr Trump, volunteering ourselves for the cast for a new Apprentice Season – The MBA Bloggers. This is a clear win-win. (Be warned Mr Trump - my attorneys are working feverishly on patenting the idea. )
For the Trump Organization, there will be a truly diverse cast of young, talented, articulate and intelligent professionals. In the boardroom, seasoned veterans such as Alex Brown, Clear Admit, Hella, Tad Holbie, etc can make special guest appearances to offer Mr Trump their individual assessments of the performance of the hapless bloggers as they make progress in their tasks. The boardroom would be a battlefield when the losing project manager pulls the two bloggers from his team who forgot to add links to other blogs in their posts or who did not run spell-check before hitting the submit button. Those of us unwilling to forsake anonymity will have the benefit of TV Magic with pixelled overlays and voice encryption.
The contestants are the true winners. The Apprentice will be a heated battle between the outspoken PowerYogi and the affable Dave. (No offense to the other bloggers out there :)) The Board will definitely have their hands full with that decision. If past seasons are indicative of what future contestants can expect, in addition to the possibility of being the next apprentice, the rewards are bountiful. The female bloggers will of course have their mandatory appearance on Oprah, and the Ladies of Blogging Special Maxim Modeling Shoot on an exotic beach or in a boardroom with a Business-suit and a crop. WakeChick will have her pick of endorsements from Lucky Brand Jeans, Billabong, and QuickSilver. BritChick will be considering offers from a spin off of “The Office” or a Silver Screen debut – “BritChick – The Edge of Reason”, opposite the debonair Hugh Grant. MargaritaLuvr will be fiercely courted by Martha Stewart Omnivision to rebuild the empire while simultaneously managing to be a hostess on The View. The question will be who will get that offer to the fifth Desperate Housewife? - (I wonder which one of our ladies will be the Omarosaesque Villainess?)
The men also have their slice of the pie. Again, we all will be focused on winning the spot as the next Apprentice, however, if we get dinged, life goes on. A few of the men will make an appearance on Leno, and /or Letterman, and be suave, charming and witty, making millions of female viewers swoon and want to have our babies. B-skewl, Businessboy and Aregon immediately come to mind. While I do not think I am the right fit for the Trump organization, I do hope that if dinged, I would at least get an offer to be a judge at the Miss America or Miss Universe Pageant – (of course amidst a media circus of rumors following sightings with Lindsay Lohan and Ashanti at various nightclubs)
Much like the Clear Admit Best of MBA Blogs Survey, at The Apprentice, everyone wins.
