Hot Dogs/Kids

I went to a festival on Friday where it was all right to bring your pets and one of the booths had a water bowl set up for dogs to stop and get refreshed. Even though it was temperate and nice, there were always some people and their pets there to cool off. This is simple and requires a bowl and some water. Do it.

If you DO hit some absurd periods of heat, instead of just running a PSA for the SPCA reminding idiots not to leave their pets and kids in their cars, why not do what Hot in Fredericton did last Summer. This is their press release:

Joe Arsenault from the Morning Hot Tub with Joe, Benny & Jay sat in the black HOT jeep for half an hour today, to raise awareness about the dangers of leaving pets and people in vehicles on hot sunny days. Joe wanted to experience the heat and the effects on his body, after witnessing and reporting to the authorities a dog left in a parked car on a hot day this past weekend in Fredericton.

Arsenault says, "There is never an excuse to leave a dog in a vehicle that is parked with the windows open a crack during the summer. The dog suffers because it can't sweat and I thought that at least my sitting in the HOT jeep would show people what a serious experience this can be for a person, let alone a dog.'
St. John Ambulance volunteers were also on hand to look after Joe when he got out of the jeep. The temperature inside of the vehicle reached 47 degrees. His symptoms included shortness of breath, a headache and exhaustion. The Morning Hot Tub with Joe, Benny & Jay have a close relationship with the Fredericton S.P.C.A and were more than happy to help out with raising awareness about the danger of leaving animals and people in vehicles on hot days.

One Second Cinema

I love the name. From a morning show that wishes to remain nameless. You play one second of a movie. Call and ID it and win.

Fun With Pens

A station-to-remain-nameless has gotten what can only be described as a Big Ass Buy from a pen company. With the buy comes thousands and thousands of free pens to giveaway. So, at their annual Summer festival in a couple of weeks, they're going to have a handwriting expert. People can sign their name, get a quick dissection of their personality and will leave with a free pen. If you've never worked with a handwriting analyst, it's a great bit.

Have You Seen This Morning Show?

The term "face on a milk carton" has actually made it into the lexicon of our culture. You say it and people know that you're referring to a missing child. Dairies are one of the food industries that are invariably local, ie: your milk isn't made 1000 miles away and shipped in. Since this is a local business, it would seem to me that a savvy Marketing Director could waltz in and work out a deal that would get the morning show's mugs on 100,000 milk cartons. Have some fun with it without mocking the plight of missing kids. In fact, maybe proceeds from this run of cartons goes to a missing childrens organization.
