Tasteless PR Pitch of the Month

We have a winner!!!

It was only a matter of time…

e.l.f Cosmetics and their agency Think PR have truly stepped up to the plate with this little ditty….

e.l.f. Cosmetics would like to do as much as they can to provide relief to this devastating situation. Thousands of people are without any of their belongings. Although make-up is a secondary need, e.l.f. hopes to get people back on track. This is a small token, but it’s a start.

This would be funny if it weren’t so pathetic.

Full atrocity here.

UPDATE: PR Newsire had the decency to remove the release. It’s still in their system here. A tip of the hat to Jeremy Pepper for the link.

Update II: Dave Black of Voce says it better than I can.

    hmm... as a throw away compared to the reality of how the government has treated the people of new orleans this gift means nothing. but as the old saying "something is better than nothing". what have you done for the people with this terrible loss. why would you point a finger if someone is willing to do anything to put a little smile on there faces.
  • Yes, tasteless. Let's act and not talk about the great things we're doing, please.

    That said, I am in San Antonio, where we have 10,000+ evacuees. And they are SCREAMING for African American hair product. "Please, please, just let me be able to do my hair." If it provides even a bit of normalcy in the midst of chaos, what's the harm?
  • Funny that the agency's name is "Think Public Relations," as that's the one thing they didn't do -- think.
  • There's no way to "make up" for a tasteless pitch like that...haha.
