Wow thats just so retarded. Too bad the email bounced, else I would have replied why not they make an event for me for free instead since they want free promotion of their event.

Back in the 80s, I recall a humorous occasion. A PR agency sent a Press Release to a newspaper and signed of For Details, Call Ms Soh An Soh, Pubic Relations Manager.. We had a good laugh when we saw the mail and forgave the sender (via snail mail) because in those days, PR was not highly placed. It was a sidekick to advertising. A small sidekick, or in some pathetic firms, an afterthought and no more. Looks like not much has changed since the days when pubs advertise “Public Relations Officers Wanted: Must speak English, 10, 5′-3″ tall and Good Looking” (when they were looking for GROs). It is the dimwitted ones that are causing a dent in the image of the profession. Your encounter with Ms Spammy offers interesting food for thought – for those in PR that is.

Since you love comments so much, here’s one more. About your “Can you miss the retarded English?” comment …, seriously, you are in a foreign country. A little respect, man. I mean, can you even write in retarded Bahasa Malaysia or Mandarin?? It is so taken for granted that non native English speakers should always be able to speak English (and perfect English at that); but it is a such a novelty if a native English speaker is able to say a few phrases of a “foreign” language. I understand your rant about the spamming and such but when it comes to dissing locals for the way they write YOUR native language, I really shouldn’t even try to understand.

This comment has nothing to do with this post. I notice that you use the Tamron 17-50 lens. I’m looking into the possibility of getting one. You seem to be somewhat experienced with it; so I hope you don’t mind sharing your knowledge thus far. What do you NOT like about this lens? If you have to pick now, would you still go with this lens? I’ve also heard that the AF is kinda noisy. What’s your op on that? Thanks.
