CEO Gets an American Dream Lesson on 'Undercover Boss' (VIDEO)

It takes a guy named Igor to clue the CEO of 7-Eleven in on the American dream. Seriously, he's like a character out of a Paul Haggis film."America is the best country in the world," says Igor in broken English. "You guys just do not really know how blessed you are ... I came in the U.S. with no English, no knowledge of any culture, fifty bucks in my pocket ... "
The boss is impressed, and so are we. Igor knows what many people take for granted -- the U.S. is the land of opportunity. 'Undercover Boss' is on Sun., 9PM ET on CBS.
Watch the video after the jump.

"Scary Movie": Zarqawi's got a hot new video and it's "all that and a bag of hummus". However, the US military, ever the spirit-dampener, has found the extra footage that Zarqawi didn't include in his propaganda tape. Naturally, it's all less than flattering because it shows Zarqawi fumbling with his machine gun (so, in essence, it was a Zarqawi blooper reel). "It makes you wonder," Major General Rick Lynch said of Zarqawi's inability to operate the weapon. Jon added, "... Yeah. Makes you wonder why we haven't caught this putz yet." Zarqawi was also sporting white New Balance shoes in the video. I'm sure NB is really happy with this free product placement.The Daily Show: March 30, 2006

Believe it or not, good news has arrived from the Middle East:
Abdul
Rahman, an Afghan man risking the death penalty to convert to Christianity, has found safety in Italy and American
journalist Jill
Carrol has been released. Hurrah! So, "for every person
killed just because of their religion or for being an American, there is another person almost killed but... then at the last minute... not."TV Squad Hot Topics
