That was harsh. It was a nice email and she expected nothing. Just offering. Some PR people can be very bad, most are fine. The PR people who like the post are most likely just kissing your butt. A bad PR pitch is when you try to get a sports blogger to write about Oreo cookies because Player X, who they signed to an endorsement deal, rrreeeaallllyyy does eat them. Anyway this is a fun blog. Good stuff. Stop being mean to PR people, we really do control all public perception and 80% of media stories. Not gonna lie. That was harsh. It was a nice email and she expected nothing.

There isn’t an editor, publisher or high profile advertiser hovering over them, or a requirement to be balanced or even accurate. This presents both advantages and challenges.

Who are you kidding? Your blog is awesome. Maybe the marketers figure that a blogging dad is more gullible to win over? Jen - Thanks for weighing in. And I don't have anything against advertisers. I believe there IS value in advertising - the right way. Value for both the advertising company, the consumer and the person carrying the ads. Ribbon - Thank you. Patricia – Not in my league?

Jen – Thanks for weighing in. And I don’t have anything against advertisers. I believe there IS value in advertising – the right way. Value for both the advertising company, the consumer and the person carrying the ads.

Ribbon – Thank you.

Your reaction is hysterical... and appropriate. It takes 20 minutes of research to keep from making an idiot out of your company when you sell advertising... why don't they think. I've not really marketed anything on my blog and I'm happy with that. Maybe someday but not now so no horror stories here. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Jens last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/deconstructingjen/Xhlc/~3/vB3XNMr2EZY/" rel="nofollow">Playing catch up</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> It’s really amazing how unbelievably clueless advertisers are sometimes (and I’m married to one… but he’s not clueless).
