Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - Feb 8, 2018

Top talkables of the day:

You may have missed the video of PRESIDENT TRUMP's hair flying off his bald spot as he boarded Air Force One the other day --although I don't see how. Catch it HERE.

Looking at Logos:

The Gerber baby food people have chosen the model for 2018 and it's 18-month-old LUCAS WARREN from Dalton, GA. Normally, the baby wouldn't make headlines, but in this case, Lucas is the first baby with Down syndrome to become the face of the brand. As the parents of the "spokesbaby," Lucas' family will pick up $50-thousand dollars as well, and will be featured (along with Lucas) on the Gerber's social media channels throughout the year. Lucas was picked from over 140-thousand entries Gerber received.
Lucas' dad, JASON, is a helicopter mechanic for the Georgia National Guard; his mother, CORTNEY, also works part-time as well. She said in a statement "We hope this opportunity sheds light on the special needs community and educates people that with acceptance and support, individuals with special needs have the potential to change the world."

Fashion Emergency:

Just in time for Valentine's Day, McDonald's has created a $12,500-dollar Big Mac ring. Yes, really. They're calling it the "Bling Mac." It is a one-of-a-kind, seven-piece stackable ring made from real gold, diamonds, sapphires, and other gems. And Teen Voguesays it could be yours if you can pen the best "vows of love" to their favorite Big Macs (the Grand Big Mac, the Big Mac and the Mac Jr). It's all to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Big Mac. You have between now and Valentine's Day to send your entries to "@McDonalds" on Twitter with the hashtag #BlingMacContest. The coveted prize will be awarded to the "most witty, comedic and romantic tweet." (Bartha)
