Vanilla Ice Iced Coffee

My friends at Regan Comm (including Kevin Flight, seen at far right) got a nice PR hit yesterday for their client, Dunkin Donuts -- offering free iced coffees today -- by inviting Mr. Rob Van Winkle (aka Vanilla Ice) to Boston to judge a karaoke contest at the Copley plaza. Yes, it was what you were thinking. Contestants had to adapt the lyrics of "Ice Ice Baby" to "Ice Iced Coffee." At least Van Winkle seems to have come to terms with his infamy. See how he is smiling for the cell phone? Such is his surreal life.
