10 Yetis Examples of Good and Bad Public Relations - Monday 12th July 2010
Good PR
Last night saw Spain win the World Cup for the first time in a tense final against Holland, scoring a goal in the final half of extra time. But, that's not my good PR, no! My good PR today goes to Paul the Octopus who predicted that they would win.
Dubbed the "oracle of the deep", Paul - who lives at the Sea Life Aquarium in Oberhausen - currently has a 100% prediction record after correctly foreseeing all the Germany results. It took him just ten minutes to go and sit on the box embellished with the Spanish flag.
Good work Paul.
Would also like to give credit to the inflatable pub that you can have in your garden. Sounds good!!!
Bad PR
Bad PR today goes to Poundland, after an enquiry has been launched into the reports that a seven year old boy was paid just 7p an hour in an Indian sweatshop.
The boy was said to be working for 100 hours a week, whilst sleeping in the sweatshop in Delhi. His ‘wages’ of under £7 a week are sent to his widowed mother in a poverty-stricken rural village hundreds of miles away in the eastern state of Bihar.
‘Poundland does not tolerate child labour under any circumstances and will not work with companies that employ children,’ a spokesman said.
