 As we’ve noted previously, it’s our contention that much of the Middle East’s marketing establishment has a severe inferiority complex, determined to think that nothing it ever does is really going to be any good.
Well maybe.
On the other hand, there’s this press release, issued just last night, which Gawker brings to our attention and posits as possibly the best AND worst release of all time (we’ve left the errors in for verisimilitude):
“FROM:

SUBJECT: Media Alert: John Ratzenberger on a DATE with Charmaine Blake NOW
Charmaine blake, the most famous publicist. is dating John Ratzenberger from the hit show "Cheers!"
John Ratzenberger and Charmaine Blake are on a date RIGHT NOW (5:21 PM 6/30) at Wolfgang Puck's Cut in Beverly Hills. John and Charmaine have just arrived to wine and dine the night away! Wolfgang Puck will be joining the two personally for dinner as well!
ALL MEDIA PRESS COVERAGE WELCOME!”
Wow.
The vision that Gawker conjurors up, of Blake mashing away at her BlackBerry under the table, presumably while Ratzenberger toys with a bread roll, is pretty special.
We are struggling to reconcile the adjective “best” with this one, though – except in terms of “best attempt at instant media humiliation”.
Anyone want to guess how the date went after this?
Feel better about yourselves, regional PRs.
