PR Queen: No Booty Queen: Yes

In truth, I’m a fan of some reality shows even if we all know that they’re as real as the tooth fairy.  The problem is a majority of the average (IQ) viewer still believes reality shows are as real as the couch they sit on.  I remember when Lizzie Grubman’s Power Girls premiered on MTV and every non-PR friend I knew gave me an amused look saying, so that’s what you do.  I already had a hard time explaining what I did, and here comes Lizzie with her so-called PR gal pals making it look like the P in PR stood for Pimp.

P stands for Public not Pimping

So what do we do as PR folks when this reality show debuts with the two PR boys (I mean ‘gurus’) from Command Public Relations.  (I’m thinking they named it that because they both go ‘commando’ from the break of dawn into the night. See commando definition here.)  I’d like to think we’ll all heed Shel’s call to action.  Maybe even go on a campaign to petition the show off.  Though, I’m sure many of us will be glued to the TV to see how this firm operates and whether it’s like the agency you work for.  Not surprisingly, it may just be.  As the great PR mind, Josh Sternberg, succinctly replied to me in a tweet.
