Every weekday, PR Daily associate editor Alan Pearcy highlights the day’s most compelling stories and amusing marginalia on the Web in this, #TheDailySpin.

This video of Jeremiah McDonald, 32, interviewing his 12-year-old self has topped 1 million views in a day. It’s brilliant.



In less cheerful news, the jobs report for June came out this morning, and the country added a mere 80,000 jobs—below expectations of 100,000—keeping the unemployment rate at 8.2 percent. Presumptive GOP candidate Mitt Romney called it a "kick in the gut."

PR software provider Cision will soon be adding to the nation’s unemployed when it completes an expected layoff of 139 employees at its offices in Chicago and nearby Rockford, Ill.

How are Mitt Romney and President Obama framing the news? In terms of family vacations, that’s how.

Speaking of vacation, Virgin America is offering $55 tickets in honor of grabbing the Travel & Leisure magazine’s top ranking for domestic air carriers for the fifth straight year.

Let’s hope Virgin isn’t promoting that Facebook, where a report says the new Timeline feature has caused a 53 percent drop in tab engagement on brand pages.

Here’s something to drop in your stomach: an all-bacon burger. My emotions are so mixed on this one.

Happy Weekend.
