By “Stuff and nonsense”, you mean “churnalism” ;-)
Indeed. At least the Daily Star (the only other paper running the story that I can see) was honest, albeit by accident: there’s a big button below the story that says:
My God, I can remember sitting in a meeting with a big flooring company three or four years ago and saying for a joke they could do a survey on whether people preferred to have it off on a rug, carpet or laminate flooring, everyone smiled…but I didn’t get the PR work!
There is a news agency that sends me regular emails showing the PR coverage they have got for their clients – in the hope of convincing me as a PR practitioner that I should be signing up for their marvellous ‘media relations’ skills – ie they write a bollocks survey and it gets coverage.
What I don’t get is why a survey saying people like shagging is good for the flooring business anyway or why a hotel chain telling us fish and chips is the greatest thing about being British matters to the hotel – okay so their name is in the paper but who thinks ‘ooh I see people with a wood floor get more nooky, I’m going to try it.”
Mutter mutter.
Which is worse – carpet burns or splinters?
Definitely splinters and I speak from experience.
Our place has dodgy cream carpet everywhere and I’m hardly getting any…so maybe he’s on to something
