Great PR Stunts #45034:Poking Fun At The Mentally Ill

This just in from a reader who writes, "Hello LostinShowbiz, try as I might it's difficult to describe the rage I feel towards this PR for wasting ten precious seconds of my life for this..."

I can see their point. Over long, crushingly badly written ("who is constantly in the news for her drunken ventures", "who is not shy of admitting to liking the odd drink or two himself", "The poll was commissioned, by the Credit Show only a week ago during more news stories stating that Britney is supposedly to have got MAKE THIS RUBBISH STOP! PLEASE!), witless, crappy and in poor taste.

It's a Lost In Showbiz Classic. Well done, Energy PR.

Subject: Britney Spears - You're Barred: Fed Up Brits Wouldn't Even Lend Britney Money For A Drink!

Britney Spears – You’re barred:
Fed Up Brits Wouldn’t Even Lend Britney Money For A Drink!

The troubled pop star Britney Spears has suffered yet another set back – three quarters of Brits wouldn’t even lend her money to buy a drink in a local pub/bar if she asked them, according to a new poll.

Research by SOME IDIOTS, found that Britney, who is constantly in the news for her drunken ventures, and is at present fighting with lawyers to allow her to visit her kids, is by far and away the least popular of four famous people that voters were asked to say whether they would buy them a drink.

Even loud mouth Radio One IDIOT, who is not shy of admitting to liking the odd drink or two himself, gained more sympathy than Britney – over 5 out of 10 people would lend him money to get another beer in with the thought of AN IDIOT returning the favour.

In fact the exact same number of people that said they would buy AN IDIOT a drink, also OH CHRIST ISN'T IT OVER YET? BLAHBLAHBLALHBLAH the poll was commissioned, by the Credit Show only a week ago during more news stories stating that Britney is supposedly to have got married again, as well as KILL. ME. NOW.


So it appears this is not an issue of trust, but more OUR LIVES ARE TICKING AWAY MINUTE BY MINUTE AND THIS FOOL IS STILL QUACKING ON said they would not buy ANOTHER IDIOT a drink if they didn’t think they’d get one back in return – but that hardened to a whopping *shoots self in head with enormous, terrifying gun*
