You see that photo of me, to the lower left? Where I’m pretending to smile?
I’m very non-photogenic, and it’s the only photo taken of me during the past 10 years in which I don’t look completely terrible.
Hint: It wasn’t taken in the U.S. And it was somewhere you really would never expect to see me.
The first person to correctly identify the setting will win…Uh, five bucks.
And I might award a prize to the person with the most creative (albeit incorrect) guess.
So go nuts….

Thanks to Paul and Storm for giving me permission to share this with you.
My favorite moment is at 3:31, on the word “modulation.”

This being the holiday season and all, I offer this as an antidote to the unrelenting negatively of my Monday Commercial Smackdowns.

I don’t know this guy .
Don’t know if I’d like his on-air work.
But he seems instinctively to know how to use social media. (Check out his number of Twitter followers .)
