Marketing magazine Ad Age has named WWE executive Stephanie McMahon as one of their "40 Under 40" marketing leaders.

Shore's Slant: Congratulations are due to Stephanie, but I'm a little confused as to how running creative of a television product makes you a superstar in marketing. I didn't read through the other 39 honorees, but it would seem to me that any lead writer of any TV show could be honored for this if she can.
