10 Yetis Examples of Good and Bad PR - Wednesday 30th January 2019

Don’t worry, it’s only 1 more day till February which means that long awaited payday should have finally arrived and we can finally look forward to the rest of 2020… sorry I mean 2019. January felt like a whole year so we might as well be in 2020 now. Anywhoooo, it’s Fran here, bringing you this week’s good and bad PR, I hope you enjoy my choices! Some might thumpin’ love them more than others… here we go!

Good PR

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching which means all those lovely couples around you will be spreading how much they love their other half across social media. You will no doubt see pictures of flowers and chocolates with the caption "boy did good <3" across Instagram which will just make you wallow in your own single-life pity. For all the gals out there who would rather celebrate Galantine’s Day, here is a little treat for you…

Poundland has added a new sex toy to its best-selling range, "just in" time for Valentine’s Day. The new 'Bonkin Bunny' vibrator is just £5, making it a hella lot cheaper than most adult toys from the likes of Ann Summers.

It is bright purple, 7.2 inches long, with two vibrating "ears". However, there is a little catch to getting hold of one for yourself. When you get to the till, you have to say "Justin" to the checkout person, who will then present you with your goods. That way, no pesky kids can see them in the store or ask mummy "what's that?!". This really is cheap thrills and at least if it’s not up to standards you’ve only wasted a fiver. I’m not sure what their return policy is on this kind of thing though…


Bad PR

Now let’s move onto the bad PR of the week. As you’ve probably heard, Apple faced some backlash after it was revealed that a glitch in their FaceTime software meant that callers could hear audio and view video from a target iPhone, even if the call is rejected.

Whilst this is great news for its competitors, this is bad news for Apple and its customers. This could lead to major loss of customers who could potentially leave for other phone companies that are cheaper and facing less privacy and software issues.

When the news hit, it soon went viral across worldwide publications and Apple was forced to disable their Group FaceTime functionality whilst they tried to sort the malfunction.
