Slurping through the news in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• President Obama’s remark that he might hold a “Slurpee Summit” with the new Republican leadership has 7-Eleven in hyper-drive to make it happen. The Slurpee maker contacted the White House, created new ads and is even considering repositioning the drink as something that “brings people together.” Um, does anyone think Obama might have been hoping the drink would induce brain freeze on the new GOP wonks?
• Cirque du Soleil is launching a Michael Jackson tribute tour. And you thought 7-Eleven was being overly opportunistic with the potential Slurpee Summit.
• Lil Wayne was released from prison today. It’s unlikely he dashed to 7-Eleven for a Slurpee.
• Mario’s mother has dropped the assault charges against her recording artist son. Hey, maybe the two should hold a Slurpee Summit. Or a Slappy Summit.
