Burglar Answers 'What are you doing now?' on Facebook

A burglar who is currently under arrest by the Pensilvania police department, took time out during his criminal escapade, to log into his Facebook account and update his Profile.

He had broken into a neighbour's house to look for cash and electronic gadgets that he could sell for cash. All was going well for him and he felt confident that he had plenty of time before the owner returned.

So he took the time to have a refreshing drink and log into his Facebook account but unfortunately he did not remember to log back out again. The police had little trouble finding him before he had disposed of his ill-gotten gains. Let's face it, all they had to do was check the phone book or go on line and check out his Profile.

What are you doing right now? Well, we know that one guy is languishing in a Pen. jail. Game Over!

High Security Hot Sauce: Jail House Fire Inside!

It's a rare entrepreneur who doesn't have challenges to overcome, but for most, incarceration isn't one of them. That's not stopping a group of inmates in Florida's Hillsborough County Jail, however, from making and selling their own line of hot sauce.

JailHouseFire hot sauce comes in three varieties—Original, Smokey and No Escape!—all made by inmates at the maximum-flavour, minimum-security jail, produced from peppers grown right there onsite.
What's especially compelling is that rather than glossing over the product's roots, the prisoners' marketing of the sauce makes the most of its origins, with slogans like "So Lethal", "Murder on Taste Buds" and "Final Solutions". These guys can make you an offering, you cannot refuse!

Prices are USD 7 per 5-ounce bottle or USD 3 for a 1.5-ounce bottle of No Escape!—which certainly sounds like it lends itself to smaller quantities. The sauces are currently available only online; all proceeds support inmate rehab programs.

The lesson? Never shy away from flaunting all that's interesting and different about *your* product's origins, with all the product storytelling and still-made-here appeal you can muster. The result could set your brand free!
