Didja ever notice?

That during previews for movies at art/idie houses, EVERY film is a winner at Cannes?

That EVERY news team at every radio and television station has won EVERY award EVERY year?

That EVERY car is Motortrend’s Car of the Year?

There are more, but now I leave it up to your pithy observations.

I mentioned this the other night after seeing about 1600 car commercials in a row, all of which mentioning that their car had won some J.D. Power and Associates award. I decided that each new model must just have an award designated to it upon release. Saves time.

Every Thai restaurant in Sydney (and there are hundreds) has won a Best Thai Restaraunt award. And every butcher here has won a Best Sausages award at some show or another.

Mind you we did have a fun piece in the paper the other day of a hair salon boasting of having the World Eyebrow Shaping Champion working for them. Now that’s special.

Every single restaurant within 50 miles of the Atlantic Ocean, but only from RI and North, has won Best New England Clam Chowder - every single year.

Every book is a New York Times Bestseller.

Specifically, every reporter on any national news network – CNN, FOX, etc. – has an Emmy award. I’m pretty sure you get a complimentary Emmy immediately upon being hired, even if you work in the mail room. “You can start on Monday. Here’s your key, name badge, Emmy award . . .”
