How to Get Free PR from Jenisfamous.com (note: I am persuaded by automobiles, compliments, and the likelihood of fruit plates)
Aww ... after I wrote a post for Jewcy about Flocabulary, one of the authors sent me a nice email.
Go here to read the original post.
It's nice when you post something and two seconds later someone forwards it to the subject of the post and then that person writes to you. By you, I mean me. Because having people I like contact me is really the entire point of the Jenisfamous Maelstrom of Words Put Together in a Particular Order to Have a Particular Effect.
I should start writing posts like "Jackie Chan can jump really high" and see if, the next day, I get an email from Jackie Chan.
On a related note, Ford's PR firm is flying me out to LA for a behind-the-scenes tour of the show On the Lot, which is a reality show (sponsored by Ford) about filmmakers. (Hmmn, I wonder if that means I get to hang with Spielberg?)
As part of the deal, I also get "complimentary use of Ford Escape during stay, with all the fun LA locations programmed in GPS." There was also something about a "road rally." I don't even know what that is.
Apparently a Ford Escape is a hybrid SUV. So I get to drive something enormous without feeling bad about it!
Obviously, I'll keep you updated via the blog. Because that, of course, is the entire point of large corporations putting me up in nice hotels and giving me backstage passes.
Update: I've been informed in the comments that not all Escapes are hybrids. Well ... the GPS device in the car should cause me to get lost less, which certainly saves gas and reduces greenhouse emissions. Also cuts down on global swearing.

Unless something has changed recently, the Ford Escape is a SUV which has an *optional* hybrid engine. It's not like the Insight or the Prius where that's the only flavor.
I recently rode around in a traditional internal combustion Ford Escape someone rented from ZipCar. In one afternoon we succeeded in undoing much of the good your CPF bulbs did in a week. If this is the hybrid, it only gets 33mpg highway - no big woof. However, you'll be in Tinseltown, where anything merely seems possible but infact you'll only be getting 29mpg showoff City driving.
