Bad Pitch Blog: The "Celeb is Dead, Quote My Expert" Pitch: TWO THUMBS DOWN

...When you find out the aforementioned movie critic passed away via email, it sucks even more. It sucks to find out someone died via email at all, right? But when that email is a pitch shoving "a relevant expert" down your throat, it's a whole new universe of sucking. It's a dimension of sucking so far beyond the "sucks universe" that it takes light from sucks a year to reach it. It's a state of sucking so far beyond sucking it takes the light from sucking one year to reach this new level of bad pitching. You get the idea.

Jeff Domansky's insight:

This PR agency pitch to a blogger is so utterly and completely bad, it's hard to describe. No self-respecting "PR pro" pitch this way... ever.
