It Feels So Good to be Totally Right!

After the finale of The Apprentice, I immediately wrote a post talking about how Dot Com Mogul James Sun lost the competition. I felt that after he plugged his company, if the sponsors weren’t pissed, there’d be something wrong. Well, it looks like I hit the nail right on the head. Even James couldn’t figure out what Trump was talking about initially. He had to go through the tapes! In his post finale blog post, he too came to the same conclusion…
Next, I committed the big “slap on the hand” by answering Don Jr.’s question that I am the current founder and CEO of Zoodango.com. In the real world, this statement would be 100% okay. But on television, especially on Donald Trump’s show where companies pay millions of dollars for product endorsements…..any reference to a company is treated as an endorsement for promoting the company. To be 100% honest with you, I did not intentionally bring up the name Zoodango.com…..it just happened. Zoodango.com is literally a part of who I am now. I eat, sleep, drink, and wake up to Zoodango.com. It’s just part of my every day speech.
Wow. It feels great to be SOOOOO right! 
Don’t worry about it James! I totally would have done the same thing, consciously, or subconsciously. We’re both cursed with strong entrepreneurial genes! Besides, you’re a Dot Com Mogul and the driving force behind ZooDango! Those are things that Trump can never be. You also live in the most beautiful part of the world and you have a great family that loves being together. Trump should be envious of what you have.
Remind me to put James on the guest list for next years “Night Before CES Party“. I should invite Nick Warnock too.
You even said you…
It is always a good feeling to find out you were right. I wonder if James knows about you, John, or the rest of dot com-ness up here.
I left a comment on his blog. Maybe he’ll investigate further
You did hit the nail on the head….kudos to you Stephen.
I missed his comment on the show as I was flipping channels so I was a little surprised when he was not selected but this makes sense.
