I know more than you.
I make lots more money than you.
I'm smarter than you.
I'm sexier than you.

I work ten minutes a day.
I rule the universe.

CBS recently hired Manhattan super-flack Howard Rubenstein to help with damage control. Rubenstein confirmed the hiring but declined to comment on his role.
Imagine if Johnson and Johnson had taken this tack with Tylenol. MORONS.
