When Doing PR For Anti-Spam Firm... Don't Spam

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the things-you-can't-make-up dept.

netbuzz writes "Rule #1 when doing PR for an antispam vendor: Don't spam. This isn't exactly brain surgery, yet the fellow at a PR agency called Rocket Science managed to violate Rule #1 while attempting to drum up publicity for Singlefin, which provides e-mail, IM and Web filtering services to the likes of Juno and NetZero. He also violated Rules #2 and #3." Given the hundreds of press releases I get in my inbox on a weekly basis, PR folks in general need to learn that lesson regardless of their clients.

    one day I entered a comment at Slashdot and pressed "Preview" and forgot to press "Submit" after that. So my comment was lost... But I was like "Ah... who cares..." because I already was at Youtube looking at fat bitches who told me that their cats breath smelled like catfood... that was great!
