My Own Bad Pitches

It didn't take long for me to get some pretty lousy PR pitches this week!

Here are three I got today:

• A snail-mail press release came in an envelope. The address label was to: "Various Producers." I don't know what the press release was for because I threw it away.
• An e-mail from an address called "PRIntern@name-of-the-organization.org." Sending me an email from an intern's address shows a lack of respect. Just as PR people calling an assignment desk don't want to speak with our interns, we certainly don't want your press releases coming from your interns.
• An e-mail were the address said simply "A Release." Oh. My. God. Could you give me any other reason NOT to pay attention to your precious press release?
  

OK good, I think I got that out of my system. This isn't rocket science, folks!
