Can you imagine being at a dinner party with a bunch of yuppies in a really trendy place like NYC and someone asking you what you do for a living and you respond that you work for Nielsen Buzzmetrics. And then as they are wont to do they ask what you are currently doing there and you have to say that you worked all week making one of Buzzmetric’s patented “Brand Association Maps” featuring Sanjaya.

Do you think they will still respect you in the morning?
