Flackette trumps Strumpette
Strumpette is back, sad to say. I even read the latest post comparing PR people to aging German prostitutes. Reading Strumpette is kinda like slowing down to look at a ghastly car wreck. I must resist.
Fortunately, a dose of reality comes from the female PR blog, Flackette, who refers to the faux Amanda Chapel as a “PRostitute.” (Good one.) Flackette’s general take on Strumpette? “Wow, I never knew that exposing the PR field could be so shallow and unenlightening.”
More to the point, Flackette is dismayed by the positive feedback Strumpette has attained:
The biggest disappointment is that many bloggers (save Kevin Dugan of the Bad Pitch Blog—thank God some of our men in the PR field are thinking with their minds and not the little man downstairs...need I say more) are encouraging this kind of smut with their comments. They beg for more pictures, eager for a glimpse of her self-proclaimed “perky” breasts...Unbelievable. Pour some cold water down your pants, boys, and then get back to work!
I’d add Flackette to my subscriptions if she offered a feed (there’s a problem with the Feedbuern feed I was able to glean from another link). I’m begging for more of her perky observations. As for Strumpette, the German prostitute/PR thing did it for me. Some car wrecks you just gotta speed on by.
