		<description><![CDATA[<p>Thanks for checking out my stuff. I hope it&#039;s not crushingly dull. I mean if you love the internet and radically changing business models and the many laughable errors that are teh nature of trying to run a business then you might enjoy a post now and again.  </p>The correct thing to do would be to offer a fourth option, something like, "No thank you, I'm not interested in your marketing materials." No need to debase those confused few who do not have MBAs and have yet to discover the many study's that show  that an MBA is as wise an investment as multi-level marketing or making deals to help the daughter of the ex-president of Zimbabwe free up some of her father's cash which is unfortunately held by hooligans.
<p>I&#039;m so sorry if right now you&#039;re in a worse frame of mind after having suffered through my muddled thoughts, questionable grammar and imaginative spelling. Thanks. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="zem_slink" title="Pepperdine University" rel="homepage" href="http://www.pepperdine.edu/">Pepperdine</a>, which according to Business Week (who apparently really really dig MBAs cause they spend about 50% of their editorial calendar blowing and fluffing the <a class="zem_slink" title="Master of Business Administration" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_of_Business_Administration">MBA</a> programs of the world.*) is not a top tier <a class="zem_slink" title="Business school" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_school">business school</a>. They sadly fall into what Business Week labels the &#8220;Second Tier&#8221;. Second tier in MBA programs is as appealing as being a <a class="zem_slink" title="Grenada" rel="geolocation" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=12.05,-61.75&amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;q=12.05,-61.75%20%28Grenada%29&amp;t=h">Grenada</a> based <a class="zem_slink" title="Medical school" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_school">medical schools</a>.</p>
<p>The problem in Pepperdine&#8217;s integrity goes as least as deep as its <a class="zem_slink" title="Marketing" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing">marketing</a> department and its inability to write a survey. And writing survey&#8217;s is kind of thing one at a business school. Kind of the  med school  equivalent of  stitches.</p>
<p>Yet at the end of their survey they ask this question which is nothing more than scum sucking attempt to either force an honest person to lie or they can choose to tell the truth and sign up for either the Presidential spam package or the Executive.</p>
<p>&#8220;* Would you like to learn more about Pepperdine MBA programs</p>
<input name="Learn" type="radio" value="Presidential MBA" /> PRESIDENTIAL MBA</p>
<input name="Learn" type="radio" value="Executive MBA" /> Executive MBA</p>
<input name="Learn" type="radio" value="Already have MBA" /> No, thank you. I have an MBA&#8221;</p>
