Thank You for Smoking is also an excellent depiction of PR gone bad.

It is an excellent movie about the head PR guy from the Tobacco industry (Aaron Eckheart) and also features with the PR for the Alcohol industry and the Firearms industry.

I think it's a really interesting field. I almost went into it but got internships in direct mail instead so I went that route.

For some reason I thought you worked with athletes. No idea where I got that from though.

I was just reading about that. Apparently people believe everything they see, even when they don't see it

to a guy - a female stalker is never a bad thing
unless it's sharon stone
i have another program in the works that i can't divulge, which will put me in contact with another celebrity - sort of
no one really big - and not an athlete, but some of you may find interesting

Re: Spinoff to Attorneys Being Sc*mbags
I think it depends on the tactics. You have to spin to sell anything, but if you deliberately mislead people, then it's a problem.
My only interaction with PR people has been theatre PR. It's not the same as pushing a harmful substance (like cigarettes). It's about getting the word out

Well, as someone who works in advertising-- it all depends on the products you push.
