Good PR:
I have to give today’s good PR to OnePoll.com. They have conducted some research that has got them great coverage. Now, it pains me to tell you what the poll is because I think it is extremely stereotypical and although I have not passed my test and have been known to scream and cry in a driving lesson, I think women are as good drivers as men.
Anyway...back to the PR. This study has shown that men grip the passenger seat; push imaginable pedals and has had to grab the steering wheel when their girlfriends are driving them about. 1 in 3 of the 3,000 men polled are afraid of their partners driving, great survey, great coverage and a funny story.
Bad PR:
Now, I may have a slight reputation for being dramatic, but this news story is truly horrific and made me feel a little sick - I am sure you all know what I am going to write about now? Yup, it is the parasailing donkey.
This is so terrible, a beach in Southern Russia wanted more trade so decided to tie a donkey to a parasail and fly it high in the sky above the beach. Apparently small children were crying as they watched and listened to the distressed donkey as it was forced in to the ropes and then finally dragged back to shore. Terrible PR stunt!
