Since the dawn of public relations, and the earliest
discovered press release, humankind has
been disrespecting and ignoring the work of public relations
professionals
the world over. Nevertheless, therefore, and in any case, McSweeney's is
of the mind that this disrespecting has gone on for too long. This
disrespecting will not and cannot continue. It is a shame, McSweeney's
believes, when social problems that plagued the ancient peoples continue
to plague us today, problems such as worthy press releases going
unpublished. Inevitably, it is the public at-large that suffers, and a
suffering public, even if it is also doing some of that disrespecting,
cannot be ignored. So: that is why we will print the Most
Censored Press Releases of 2000. Hi.
