Qdoba Tries To Buy Our Endorsement

January 25th, 2010 · 5 Comments

What is it with corporate communications professionals? The PR firm (in Colorado) representing Qdoba, rather than bother checking out our sites, just sent us a press release promoting some new combo offer or whatever to help Americans be less fat. That’s fine and dandy. But what gets my goat is that the PR professional who [...]

January 22nd, 2010 · 2 Comments

What’s That? Sound Of Abramson & Cordish?

January 22nd, 2010 · 1 Comment

Publishing this on Page One, but feel it’s fitting for VV, as well. Ray Paulick has laid the smackdown on Damon Thayer.
