For sports fans, it’s a truly existential question: The first two days of March Madness are among the sporting year’s best, but how do you get out of work Calling in sick is transparent, and vacation days are mighty precious to use up for marathon TV-watching sessions. Now, there’s a new option — having basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal call your boss to say the two of you are busy “hitting the beach” or “getting a style makeover.” That’s the idea behind “Shaq’s Big Excuse,” a March Madness-themed Facebook promotion by the Dove Men+Care grooming brand. To employ Shaq, just visit the brand’s Facebook Page, then click on the “Shaq’s Big Excuse” tab. There, you’ll find a range of options letting you stitch together the ultimate boss-juking, basketball-watching excuse, all in Shaq’s signature intonations. Lastly, enter your phone number and boss’s digits, and have Shaq make the call!
