MTV To Bring Yet Another Blight On Culture, Profession

MTV To Bring Yet Another Blight On Culture, Profession
Kill me...
Years ago, I spoke with a colleague about perhaps collaborating on a spec draft of a fiction book or screenplay that could involve the PR profession. Despite all of our creativity, we were stumped as to how to put together something that would make most non-PR people care. Today, I guess the closest thing we have now is The West Wing — sometimes for better, sometimes for worse.
Fear not, however. MTV has figured out another way to sell commercials. Here comes PoweR Girls.
No, this isn't the resurrection of a forgotten Hanna Barbera cartoon. This is an opportunity to:
Meet the ladies who make all the PR magic happen at Lizzie Grubman Public Relations. Get a personal look into who these young women are and check out MTV.com's exclusive photos of each.
Wait! There's more!
The life of a PoweR Girl at Lizzie Grubman's New York City PR firm is sometimes glamorous, sometimes stressful but always exciting. Don't miss the drama on PoweR Girls.
As if depictions of PR people in Sex And The City and Phone Booth weren't bad enough.
Oh... And... Um... Where are the men? Seriously.
Not surprisingly, Grubman's bio on the MTV site doesn't mention this particular incident.
Thanks to Tom Murphy for the link.
