Public Relations Commentary

Increasingly, public relations pracititioners have to know not only how to write for the Web, but also how to manage and respond to blog postings. This blog was created to use in my public relations courses to help my students prepare to blog and learn how to respond to others in a virtual yet professional manner.

Toys for Tots deny gift

http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/11/14/toy.jesus.ap/index.html

Oh yeah, a company tried to give Toys for Tots 4000 Talking Jesus Dolls. And was actually "surprised and disappointed" when they were rejected. TFT said that they had no idea what religions the kids are that they are sending them to. The toy company spokesperson thought it wouldn't matter if a Jewish child got a Jesus doll because it quotes scripture from the bible and therefore it shouldn't be a problem.

Here is a situation where the Marines better tread very carefully.

Hoo Rah!
