When Deliveries Go Bad

Here’s one more reason why PR pros need to be cognizant of the fact that social media can spark a crisis at anytime. I present the case of the rogue FedEx deliveryman. The video of the driver tossing a computer monitor over a fence has gone viral, with more than 2.5 million views, leaving FedEx working overtime to head off the ruckus.

I’m a huge book lover. So though this has little to do with PR, I had to share. That counts as a confession, doesn’t it? Robert Pattinson: “If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are. Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads.”
