Kidz Bop. Lil Wayne. Lollipop. This should also be nominated for the “WTF 2008″ award. I would have paid to be a fly on the soundproof wall in the studio where it was recorded, just to watch the kids trying to memorize the lines.

Three of the most respected minds in the prospecting business conducted lengthy chat sessions today, and given that this afternoon’s Texas Rangers experience has already [...]
