OUr seal is on there too

While this blog focuses on interesting and humorous posts, I could not pass up posting this story. Recently, in my Digital Media Marketing class at NYU we had a representative of ExactTarget come in and give a presentation on email marketing. He also had with him three autographed copies of Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers. As luck would have it, I won one of the three copies by guessing that a numerical figure posted in the course of the presentation represented the total annual revenue generated by email marketing campaigns. When I received the book, I also received a pen and a pack of specially designed M&Ms with ExactTarget's name stamped across the package, and of course the M&Ms were color coordinated with ExactTarget's colors. Almost immediately after receiving them, I noticed an OU-D on the back and raised my hand and announced that my company's logo is on the package of M&Ms as well.

I like that story, but the reason I am posting it is because it will now be shuffled around the OU as the second of its kind. The first time is when Rabbi Dr. Tzvi Hersh Weinreb met President Bush, he was handed a pack of red, white and blue M&Ms with the seal of the president on the package, and he smiled, flipped over the package to show that his seal, the seal of the OU was on the package as well.
