Sure, there’s been a lot of talk about Pinterest in recent weeks. A lot, a lot, a lot of talk. But finally, someone’s cutting through the fat to really pin down what’s behind the hype—its strikingly salivating similarities to bacon.

And despite melting under the heat of Lebron James in Thursday night's loss to Miami, NBA sensation Jeremy Lin pretty much has his pick of brands to endorse, domestically and on a global level. But the New York Post reports that Lin’s Harvard education could keep him from making flashy decisions in the name of money.

If it’s true that someday a person’s reputation will be more valuable than his or her net worth, Lin would benefit from carefully choosing the companies to which he lends his image, rather than jumping in all Scrooge McDuck-style.

The National Enquirer, for example, would probably be a bad choice for Lin, especially after the tabloid pushed things too far by publishing an open casket photo of the late Whitney Houston.

Even a relatively safe bet like Best Buy could be dangerous for Lin. Inside one Best Buy store in South Carolina, pornographic images reportedly appeared on the television for several minutes this week.
