Note: This may become a regular feature.

Without getting into it too much, just know that I work in advertising and am thus subject to an inordinate number of marketing discussions involving out of touch clients with too much money to spend.

As such, I am considering a new feature based on the most ridiculous thing I hear in a conference call or meeting each week. Here is this week's nominee:

"We need a spokesperson people trust. Like a rock star... or Colin Powell."
