Will the real PR Strumpette please stand up?

Posted Monday, May 1, 2006 at 3:35pm in Blogging  | 

I wasn’t going to make a post on this, but seeing as though old Strumpy won’t publish any of my comments on his blog, and he’s now labeled me a midget alongside Phil Gomes, Jeremy Pepper, Robert French, Kami Huyse, Mike Krempasky, and David Parmet (great company to be in by the way) I may as well stick my two pence worth here.

Not to mention the one or two emails from him saying lovely phrases like: “go away”, “get a girlfriend” and “no one cares what you think”.

Oh Strumpy, how did you just nail me like that? That sharp writing, the quick wit and the almost psychic ability to encapsulate my life in a couple of emails. Now, first-things-first, almost everyone knows this sexy provocative PR vixen is indeed a man, a fella, a geezer… call him what you will.

What I find strange is the number of PR pros who initially fell for the facade in the beginning? Heh! Weird! Anyway, Strumpy’s latest post is something about a midget throwing contest, blah blah - attention seeking - lonely old man - got nothing better to do with himself - usual rubbish.

You should read it, it’s hilarious. No really, you’ll be cracking your ribs and splitting your sides. How this sad, sad man with a limited Photoshop ability just keeps on churning these corkers out.

I don’t think anyone could doubt his writing ability but sometimes it’s just plain weird. For example:

“What little they have is so wrapped in a Shroud of Turin as to be held sacrosanct. It’s been raised up high so that all the crippled, blind and humbled mass can see it clearly as they kneel in adoration. I pray that little Timmy’s puppy can have its operation.”

Puppies what? Who’s Timmy?

“And their high priest(s) will blithely turn to resume the sermon, look down from the pulpit, open his arms as if the embrace the mass, and pray in the words of Salieri…”

Why, where had the priest been?

Taxi for one please!

Articulate, yes, but clearly not a communicator. But thank you Strumpy. Thank you for referencing me in the same breath as people I read avidly and have high esteem for. You’re a gentleman sir.
