More tales of PR gone horribly wrong

Two this time.

Cory Doctorow gets a nastygram from Dennis Zhidkov of malware maker Star Force, who sounds like the Worst PR Person In The World(tm) and Merlin Mann tells PR people, enough is enough.

What both stories share in common is completely misguided attempts to pitch or otherwise use some PR Jedi Mind Trick on the poor unsuspecting bloggers, who the PR bots must assume is a helpless nobody.

Memo to self: You can make a lot of money teaching PR people how to get along with bloggers. If anyone’s interested, you know where to find me.
