Nope, so why did this person sign off on it? That should be the question. Another PR failure.

Thank you anon, 🌸😎

The funny part of the whole story with the teenager is not only that Sid made her blonde wait, but also took her boots and used it to do drills. And the story mentioned that it was -15 degrees at the time 😂

😂😂😂

Of course this is the top of this story.

I suspect the editor of this article has been de-accredited

She was there. There was a photo of her with a Pens player and his gf. This was over the holiday/NYE break so only a few days and he didn't want to snuggle in bed with his gf of 10 years or sit in front of a fire drinking cocoa. No he wanted to go skate outside and do drills with a teenager. It's like a scene out of the movie He's Just Not That into You!!

I’m very much confused by the chronology of those events. People on their bye week get up at dawn, when the frost is especially strong, and go to the skating rink. At the same time, they still have important things to do on schedule, but they leave everyone for the sake of a teenager. Everything in this story is strange and illogical.

Yeah... I'm really not understanding why different wording other than, "a love letter to FANS" was used when Mark and Misha aren't even in it and such a big deal has been made about the ep in general by them (more than any ep this season so far). I'm not even one of those that believes (in Carver era) the two actors are treated badly. I think the show puts its money where its mouth is on that one (and Misha in particular has been given a lot of opportunities). It's the PR to the fandom (a lot of which deal with Misha/Cas hate every day, people telling them they are lesser fans) that I feel is the real issue here. Of course, TPTB concerned with how fandom treats itself is not something they typically (and I guess rightfully so) involve themselves in. There has been some early season PR that's tried to say and support the "ensemble" mindset peeps, but that has been quite unusual all things considered. And now, honestly, quite useless.

They aren’t likely related but the poster thing… Like OH GOD. You wanna use our fandom’s art and skill so you don’t have to pay someone? Um… NO. Getting picked is not flattering or helping artists make a living. The CW is simply being cheap as fuck and trying to make us work for them on their terms. I find it distasteful on the whole and more than a little horrible.

I was already predicting lower ratings before this unfortunate news dropped. I still think this will happen (it’s just apparently the CW doesn’t care either way since apparently they will keep this show on life support if they have to until they find a way to expand the brand successfully), but the lead in may keep things even until after the middle. Many have already left because the show just doesn’t know what PR to throw at a (surely half) LGBTQA+ fanbase that is well educated and fed up on many issues… Issues that TPTB have opted to pretend don’t exist (misogyny, the potential for queerbaiting…), or otherwise when they do attempt to speak on them they end up sticking their foot in their mouths, slowly, but surely, ensuring the show’s brand and legacy becomes tarnished. They have literally no clue what to do against that and it is sad.

The decision not to have Mark and Misha in the 200th episode and officially call it “a love letter to fans” is so irresponsible that I can’t begin to even talk about it. All I can do is facepalm and laugh sadly into the void. They would have done better to simply keep their fucking mouths shut about it and dealt with the consequences of fandom opinion afterwards. Many may not watch the episode now, trash talking it (and not even in a controversial, promotional way) and the politics around it right up until it airs and probably even after. What a bad cloud to gave around the beginning of the season…

I mean… the episode is written by Robbie… and Crowley and Cas are likely to be featured wonderfully in the play itself… but did this episode absolutely have to be the 200th? An episode we likely would have never reached without Misha in particular? It’s just bad business IMO.

Bad business….

Online PR & Social Media: Blog Post #3 - Xbox One PR Failure

At a recent press conference, Microsoft unveiled the latest iteration of its Xbox home entertainment console, the Xbox One. Microsoft has labeled the Xbox One as the latest and greatest entertainment system for the new generation of video game consoles.

According to Microsoft’s public relations department, “the Xbox One does it all.”  Xbox One will be able to play, “the biggest blockbuster games, to the most popular TV shows to the best of the Web.” Microsoft is presenting their new gaming console as a system that is, “Built by gamers, for gamers. Xbox One takes gaming to a whole new level. Stunning realism, advanced AI that adapts to the way you play, and a new generation of multiplayer that is both smarter and faster.”

Despite Microsoft’s bold claims in its public relations campaign, there has been a lot of negative criticism from gamers and video game experts alike. Critics have found the new Xbox One to be too restrictive for their consumer needs. For instance, the Xbox One will use region locking to lock games down geographically. This means that a North American player won’t be able to play their friend’s Japanese copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Secondly, the Xbox One will not let gamers play used games without imposing a user/licensing fee. This means that gamers can no longer buy a used game for cheap, or borrow one from their buddies and expect to play it on their new Xbox without incurring an additional installation fee. This is a way to push gamers to buy fully priced games and reduce illegal piracy.

Finally, the Xbox One’s general astetic look has been a marketing and public relations nightmare for Microsoft. The gaming community has gone on record calling the Xbox One’s appearance as clunky, too big and ugly. Microsoft’s new console has been compared with an old 1980s VCR. In an age where, technological gadgets are becoming more sleek, aerodynamic, smaller and cooler, this huge and bulky system is a step backwards when compared to the current standard.

Despite Microsoft’s rocky start with the Xbox One, the company does have the potential to completely change its public relations campaign and get consumers and the gaming community to buy into their marketing pitch. Microsoft will have to re-evaluate its current public relations campaign, and promote an entertainment console to suit the current consumer opinion. Only time will tell if Microsoft’s Xbox One really will be the next big entertainment system or not.
