Marta's from Poland and she turned 25 this week. She also works at the Wall Street Journal. It hasn't been a good week for Rupert Murdoch and his News Corp. media empire with the phone-hacking scandal at the now defunct News of the World newspaper in the United Kingdom.
Even worse, this afternoon, his right-hand man, Les Hinton, resigned as the Chief Executive of Dow Jones (the parent company of the Wall Street Journal).
So I guess you fiddle while Rome is burning, right? On the very day the Chief Executive is resigning, some of his staff is sending a pink gorilla to Marta, a sales planner, trying to brighten her day ( and I imagine everyone else's) and add a little bit of levity to the dark cloud hanging over the media tycoon's empire....glad to oblige!
So I sang about Polish kielbasa and pierogi and drinking Dogfish Head beer.
You've got to admire a company, whose owner is having the worst week of his professional career, if not his life. Rupert's employees are trying to keep some kind of sense of humor in their heads, while everyone else is losing theirs!
