Paul Graham on PR

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the dozens-of-press-releases-in-my-inbox-every-day dept.

ralejs writes "Paul Graham takes on PR. From the article:'Why do the media keep running stories saying suits are back? Because PR firms tell them to. One of the most surprising things I discovered during my brief business career was the existence of the PR industry, lurking like a huge, quiet submarine beneath the news. Of the stories you read in traditional media that aren't about politics, crimes, or disasters, more than half probably come from PR firms.' As always, it's an interesting, surprising and slightly provoking read."

      The GNAA is quickly deteriorating from the inside. They will be dead soon. But fear not, for a beautiful pheonix shall rise from it's gay ashes. That phoenix's name is ANUS.

      ANUS has been around about 15 years longer than GNAA.

      I didn't say they weren't around longer than the GNAA, I just said they are going to rise from their ashes. God, don't you know anything?

      Agreed. But GNAA has always like to stick it to your ANUS.
