I read her post with a mixture of horror and glee. Horror because I could not believe what I was reading, glee because I knew her army of f*#@&%! bitches would have her back. And then after I let it sit in my head for a little while I got kind of bummed out. Because it’s frustrating to me that people like the man who replied to all, have jobs, *good jobs*, while kind, competent people are out of work. I hope this becomes a cautionary tale for PR companies everywhere. “remember the brandlink-bloggess incident” they’ll say, wincing.

I ridiculous pitches from them all of the time with pictures of celebrities wearing things. I DELETE immediately. I have never posted anything even slightly similar to these pitches but they keep sending and sending. It is the ole “throw spaghetti at the wall” trick. Not even remotely effective.

And who in the world would screw with Jenny? Someone who has NO CLUE. I’ll be they have never read her blog. Because how do alphabet tights worn by a Kardashian sister relate to her brand of humor? (Not to mention zombies and a giant metal chicken?)

You know what’s sad? Jose’s second email, saying, “4 of our brands are glad I stepped up to the plate for them.”

The man won’t see the error of his ways, narcissistic: how do you change a character flaw like that?

So sad, but I don’t think BrandLink will do much about this.

Women are treated with disrespect, and it’s just accepted. I worked in insurance with men as agents for 15 years…we would get trounced on, and the men in charge would tell us we brought it on.

Things have to change: we are equal workers. I feel that’s why mommy bloggers get sh*t on: we’re women.

Wow! Tha’ts really very disturbing! Stupid man who was an idiot in the first place who rather than accepted what he had done wrong, just had to launch in to another tirade of abuse. Someone like that obviously has major inferiority complex and also can’t seem to stand it that a woman got the better of him. How dare she speak up , isn’t her place int he kitchen? Stupid stupid man. Well done on blogging about it.

Clearly this guy has mental issues, that picture is hilarious. Why on earth it would have solicited such a nasty response is beyond me. I can’t imagine he’ll have a job for much longer.

Did you all see that Jose apparently responded to Wil Wheaton via Twitter claiming that he was “only trying to defend him”?

Please advise them to stop tweeting. They’re just making it worse and worse at this point.

I heard it said. If you’re going to piss off a blogger, best not to choose one with a dark army at her disposal.

Bwahahahahahah.

As a publicist, I’m actually very protective of the mommy bloggers I work with because I love them and quite frankly, I need them more than they need me. There is no such thing as an outlet that is too “beneath” a publicity pitch. With media outlets downsizing and/or disappearing, getting to know your interweb neighbors has become more and more imperative.

Plus, I know that blogging is only a tiny bit of what they do during the day because they run households, care for children and do other more important things than review my products, in my case, DVDs, so for me to pitch them events that are out of state, products for boys if they have girls (or vice versa) would be stupid and lazy. Whatever happened to getting to know your contacts?

I’m facebook friends with a lot of my mommy bloggers and I comment on their statuses and keep in touch with them however I can. Every once in a while, I’ll e-mail them to ask how they and their familes are doing, for no reason other than I care. Also, when they respond with funny, touching, amazing stories of how their lives are going, it breaks up my monotonous day. I look forward to hearing about their fun adventures. I side with Cecily and Jenny on this – have we not learned not to mess with The Blogess? I’m glad they called him out. What a lazy way to run a department. Moreover, it’s clear his mom didn’t teach him manners.
