This is what cool companies do in their Shareholders Meetings now: Southwest Airlines GAAP Rap

Just ran cross this via Digital Media Wire:  "Southwest Airlines’ Rapping Flight Attendant, David Holmes, explains Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in a “GAAP Rap” at the 2009 Shareholder’s Meeting held at the Company’s Dallas headquarters on Monday 20th" Really funny, and a very unique way to bring some really boring points across.

To me, this shows that:

• Southwest Airlines is still cool, and funny
• Public Relations is now solidly intertwined with Online Video
• People love stuff that's different
• You can be funny and serious about business, at the same time

Funny parody of Amazon's new Kindle DX (Video)

Image via CrunchBase

A nice parody of the current Kindle craze, via Mashable and Mike Ashworth.

"Amazon’s Kindle DX reading device launched this month, with a bigger screen and a much higher pricetag than the Kindle 2.0.

The device itself features a larger screen with more shades of gray for better display, a bigger hard drive (3.3GB) that can hold up to 3,500 books, and auto-rotation, so that users can read content in either portrait or landscape mode... What's next in store for the Kindle? Atom Films reckons it can only get bigger, skipping ahead to the “Kindle 9XXXD” in this parody video...."

The most expensive Internet access charge in a hotel, to-date

It was on one of my recent speaking missions in some fancy hotel somewhere that I encountered the most expensive broadband Internet charge, ever: 20 Euros per day, 120 per week and an incredible 350 Euros per month (about equal to the average monthly income of a worker in Brazil), see below. Unbelievable. But then again - they did know my name!   When I logged on (what are you gonna do!) guess what - it was as slow as my 96k ISDN 5 years ago. Cool.
