It was cute after the first paragraph - it goes downhill from there.

Simply amazing! Quite obviously the most stupendous well crafted intelligent piece of dribble to ever cross the wires! An incredible feat of extraordinary writing ability, a true credit to the PR business and a testimonial of
human courage and strength. Bravo! I'm salivating in anticipation of the next article.

This man is BRILLIANT. Because we all know that everyone and their mother is going to e-mailing this back and forth, and therefore, it has achieved its purpose: people will talk. Free advertising, so Mitch = WIN.

I thought it was good too.
Like Adri said, this press release will be emailed back and forth, no doubt getting Mitch and PitchPoint PR some good press.

I dont agree on this point, it doesn't demonstrate any creativity nor PR skills as most of us ended up disappointed by the content, is that the point? To me it feels like a trap + scam, so one thing's for sure, I will never consider this guy nor his agency for any PR work. I prefer to view PR & any communication discipline as value generating, not as a one stop fool catcher. I guess it all depends what lens we wanna see it with, quantitative, how many people actually thought the post would be interesting...or qualitative, how many people actually regretted having read this post & will now be more cautious...no doubt I belong to the second one.

Reminds me of something I'd read in the Onion.

Everyone wasted around 1 minute reading it, next one reading comments, and the next minute writing comments - this is exactly what I am doing...
