but...i love drunken flings...i love them so good Cory you do realize that at NO point did a human get any closer to that email than come copy-monkey in development writing it, and some tech plugging it into a DB full of spydered email addresses, right?

I just wondered on your post. As someone who works in the business of reaching out to bloggers, this what I have seen referred to as a “social media bitch slap.” And, it is well-deserved I might add. Thanks for sharing and reminding me what NOT to do.

Who would I like to have a drunken hookup with under the mistletoe? That's easy. My wife. They can keep the mistletoe and drunken parts also. If any husband answers anything other than "my wife" (or any wife answers anything other than "my husband") then I'd say that marriage has something wrong with it.

First clue "Hi Blogger!" Sure I admit I sometimes skim over peoples post but if I comment or send an email I try to look like I am at least some what interested in what they have to say. Aren't Dating sights supposed to research you and connect you with someone who would match you? I wouldn't trust them after reading that, I might get matched with a drunk.

Squawkfox you are totally right. I get a few of these a week as well. I should refer them to Peter Shankman’s HARO courses on how to pitch a reporter or blogger.

Irritating.

She's probably just a PR person paid to push email. I get several of these a week. The fact she addressed you as "Hi Blogger!" is pure laziness on her part. Shame shame shame on her. Most PR weenies attempt to personalize the email with your actual name or site name. Squawkfoxs last blog post..Holiday Gifts: 10 Frugal and Homemade Gift Ideas

This actually reminded me of something that happened yesterday. My husband went into a Game store to pick up a pre-ordered Rock Band mic stand (for me, such a sweetheart, I didn't even ask) and the guy asked him why he needed a mic stand and my husband said "For my wife." and the guy behind the counter tried to "bond" with his customer by going into the whole "wife-nag" thing, and said something like "What, she won't hold the mic for you?" or something rude, and my husband looked at him and said something like, "I know you're just trying to be friendly with your customers and everything by trying to identify, but you're wife-bashing with the wrong dude." Hehe. Untypically Jias last blog post..Check Me Out - Holiday Traditions
