Strumpette Posts "The End"Posted by Amanda Chapel  ... of Chapter One. And I am frankly not certain there'll be a Chapter Two. We'll see. Fake Geeks and Big BoobsPosted by Amanda Chapel The PR Blogger "F-List" Announced
Busted! Excuse me, but all along, we’ve been saying the "A-list” of PR bloggers are a horde of chatty posers. Well, now we got ‘em dead to rights. The most significant aspect of this story is the sheer irony. Turns out our loudest midway hucksters are the biggest failures in the very thing they sell, i.e. web expertise. For them, standard business practice is to proclaim expertise they apparently don’t have. This exposé makes them out for what they really are: Flimflam artists and confidence men that use cheap carnival hypnosis and hype to bamboozle that green right out of your wallet. For $5, they’ll guess that card you’re holding. And, no matter whether they're right or wrong, they’ll announce that guess with all the conviction your money can buy. Hyperbole? Maybe a tidge. But this much is certainly true. This story proves but again that big boobs are where the action is and are HUGELY popular. |

Be careful using the word authentic too often. Might later come off as "synthetic authenticity"

Funny that such an article should appear on a blog no? You guys must be from New York.

I don't have a clue about PR. But, couldn't this move to 'authentic' just really be running away from anything 'virtual' at all, like all the other band-wagoners out there that never u [...]

I'm a totally authentic blogger. Edelman is in deep shit.

Makes me wonder what have they been doing until now?

Wow - I agree with Britton that its incredibly poor positioning. Rick also gives the kind of quote that's supposed to sound hip, clever and yet sincere, but it just comes across s [...]
