		<description>Travis, you deserve and I mean DESERVE an award for this clever post.

You did it so tastefully and outright funny.  Of course we now know that krock is also a nice way to say &quot;crock of shit&quot; or was it the other &quot;c&quot; word I had in mind?

		<description>I&#039;ve been a PR person before, so for this person to claim ignorance or that they did nothing wrong proves they either don&#039;t care about industry integrity, or they never learned the basics.

There is nothing wrong with commenting to defend a client, employee, or whatever, so long as you disclose your relationship. Otherwise, it not only makes you look bad, but also your client.

Any press is good press for a new company. Travis didn&#039;t say the service sucked, she said she didn&#039;t like the concept. She may not have hyped Blankspaces, but she gave an accurate portrayal of what it was. More people will likely take a look at Blankspaces based on her mention than she&#039;ll change the minds of people who never would have heard of the place otherwise.

Of course, this now makes us suckers, since we&#039;ve written about Blankspaces now twice. Good for Blankspaces, but not so good for their publicist.

		<description>As Nelson from the Simpsons would say, &quot;Ah Ha.&quot;

I totally knew the person who was all &quot;blankspaces is great&quot; was part of the company.

It was just too fake and &quot;yay-yay-yay&quot; about the whole thing....

But your post Travis made that all worth it.
