Working in the marketing business, I’ve seen all kinds of bogus charges come through on AE expense reports – but nothing like this.

Savvis CEO, Robert McCormick has some ‘splainin’ to do now that he refuses to pay $241,000 in lap dances charged to his Amex Card. CNN has the whole story.

Irony is harsh, however. The next story down is about a US Senator who won nearly a million dollars in this week’s Powerball.

D’oah.

By the way, there’s no marketing lesson to learn here other than have a crisis communications plan in hand in case your CEO can’t keep it in his pants.

Special Note:

This is a special weekend-only edition of “Much Ado About Marketing” – posted mostly because there were so many good articles on marketing (and one hilariously stupid article about lap dancing). Enjoy it – but please don’t get used to it. I’m not sure we’ll do it every week. – Mike
