Why we don't work as hard for the boss, when he is us?

I just came across this article about what Picasso knew about branding...

There's a reason that Picasso was worth $500 million US dollars when he died. No starving artist in his case!

Or what about Lady Gaga? She's an artist. But she knew exactly what she was doing when she put on the meat dress!

(Are you planning to don some meat overalls for America's Got Talent? Or maybe a suit made out of hot dogs? )

Best wishes,

Hot Dog attire? HMMMM.

We just saw AGAIN, AGT is only a partial talent show. All 10 final acts had talent, but, the winner (and I love her) is chosen by social media firebrands. That is the real challenge. Will Hot Dogs attract youtubers?

To win AGT, one needs a platform, or get viral with teens who vote all 10 times in all ways possible.

But, if it is just EXPOSURE a new comedian is seeking (albeit an old one) something as simple as tape over the mouth, or, perhaps hot dogs...

might serve the purpose.

Also, since my comedy is somewhere between Don Rickles and Frankie Boyle, it will have to be tamed for network viewing.
