Jet Blue recently got blindsided by a ton of bad publicity from not only the blogosphere but the MSM (CNN, NYT, ABC) also got in on the act, claiming that their $7 charge for a pillow and blanket was basically gouging already sky-high prices.

Now after Jet Blue’s recent meltdown when it left hundreds of passengers stranded on-board for hours. You would think that Jet Blue’s PR machine would be waiting in the wings for this sort of mundane Monday news and send out dozens of message multipliers to spin their side of the story before you even ordered your Tuesday latte..

Nope. Shockingly, the brass at Jet Blue has no prepared statements following this fiasco. Nothing on their blog and nothing anywhere within web-crawling distance. They just issued a bland, PR statement to the press which was rightly buried in the news stories that read–in 20 point font– “Jet Blue to charge $7 for a pillow + blanket”.

Wake up guys! Maybe you can run for president and not be aware of the internet but you can’t run an airline and not atleast update your blog or send out an e-mail blast to your customers letting them know that you’ve got their back. This is a classic case  of a company not being prepared to answer to the bell in this day and age of a 24 hour news cycle that never sleeps and that other insomniac: the internet.

John McCain’s internet debacle continues as one of his handlers named Soohoo (his real name not his Trekkie or internet handle) replied to rumors that John McCain does not even know how to surf the internet by replying "John McCain is aware of the internet!"

This set off the blogosphere into a worldwide belly laugh as they pointed out the inherent embarrassment in that statement.

But this does beg the question of "Does the next president of the United States really need to be internet literate? And if so, how much?

Let us know your thoughts below…

Shhh!! No one say anything but  M.  was supposed to be on vacation this week.

He is supposed to have "limited access to the internet" but knowing him he is probably sneaking online to do work when  his family isn’t looking!

According to his twitter page he was at the beach throwing sand on his XO laptop…yeah right.

 What do you guys think? Will Mario ditch his family to get online tonight? Or will he just straight sneak?

$10 bucks and a grande latte says that he does. Any takers? Listeners and viewers call (609)456-0484 to tell me if Mario is addicted to the internet or chime in below!
