TOP 10 LIST: Why are there so many Women in PR?Posted by Amanda Chapel
#10... Because in PR you don't have to change bed pans... that often. #9... Cause chances are you'll get to meet Oprah or Uma. #8...

Because generally speaking, women make better slaves. #3... Bitches don't bitch! #2... It's a proven fact that most women have a pulse.

FH Out Front, Fleishman's "gay and lesbian communication practice," was selected after a "multimonth" (their word) review that included several unnamed communications firms.

Fleishman was the official public relations firm of both Europride London 2006 (June 16-July 2, 2006) and Gay Games VII in Chicago (July 15-22, 2006). |
