Isn't there a rule where you can't say something about yourself or it automatically makes it untrue? Like if you call yourself "hip" or "cool" then that means you're not hip or cool?
I thought of that when I read this piece (scroll down) about CNBC's Maria Bartiromo. Several years ago people gave her the nickname "Money Honey" because she talked about finance on the network and...well, look at her. It was revealed that Bartiromo herself had trademarked the "Money Honey" phrase last year, and now Hamptons mag tells us why. She's starting her own show titled Money Honey.
How is she going to be able to say "Hello and welcome to Money Honey" with a straight face? Will she wear bikinis and evening gowns for various stock segments? Will there be Money Honey Dancers to entertain viewers?

So we need another show about the rich and powerful?
Try reading Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" - history DOES repeat itself.

"Will there be Money Honey Dancers to entertain viewers?"
That's grammatically incorrect. This is CNBC so the sentence should read:
"Will there be Money Honey Dancers to entertain the viewer?"

When they cancel the show, she'll do a drunken rendition of Sinatra's "My Way" in an evening gown accompanied by a goon on a piano.
Oh, wait...
