But the biggest PR wheeze of all time is pulled by Apple whose release of a new iPhone or iPad is treated as hard news by the BBC, SKY, CNN et al. It happened yesterday and its not news, its PR. Imagine if wine releases were covered the same way. Stop press Tiny Tim Atkin scores Zoemfokt 90 points (sighted). As they say in Amsterdam eers zoem de kop van’t wyn en dan fokt u nee . I get the same feeling with sighted ratings from the Neoprene Nitwit, Chavy Chris and Tiny Tim. Hilarious and ridiculous at the same time.
