I’ve actually considered publishing every release sent to me with a breathless ‘we’re sending you this before the release goes out….’ qualifier. Breaking phony embargoes … now that will get someone in trouble.’
Bonus links: Shel Holtz, C. C. Chapman, Peter Himler, CJP Communications and Jeremy Pepper chime in.
Update: A war over who is the lamest has broken out between BlinnPR and 5W. Details in the SAI. Sit back and pass me the popcorn, this is going to be good.
