It's funny that you should do a post about these emails today because I was wondering if there was an event they were hosting is there anything stopping you going and not writing about it after. What I mean is say if there was to be an after hours event at the British Museum and you were interested in going, could you go then, figuratively speaking, say at the end "So long suckers, don't expect to see this ever mentioned on my blog." or do you have to sign some sort of contract promising you will write about it.

Also isn't there anything similar to the Telephone Preference Service that you can sign up to to stop all these emails.

Nope, not going to click on it!

I had the last one as well - and the opening sentence read more like...

"You've mad the list I am compiling of blogs to spam about our new business"

Congratulations!

Hee hee. These are usually the highlight of all the blogs I read.

I am curious to know what sort of wages people get paid to write and send these emails. Anyone know?

You'll be appalled at my saying this...

but you now have me all curious about that damn whiskey bottle!

I got the one from Tina, and just thought "the arrogance of the think".

Congratulations that you managed to make me contact you!

Ridiculous.

Please marketers keep sending these to DG, these response posts always brighten my day.

I thought Tina's was more a wonderful "Congratulations that you managed to make me want to spam you!"

Please go to Jennifer's meeting and post the results here. You could talk about kittens for half an hour.

If you want to know which it is you only need to Google the first sentence of the email. You will find out that "The ... bottle will be available from ... multiple UK retailers" which rather contradicts "The uniqueness of the design and limited number of bottles". I quite like 'uniqueness' as a concept; it's a bit like 'slightly pregnant'.

Hilarious post!

Oh, you must feel so honoured to have been selected for their spamming list! :D

Presumably there must be _some_ of these invitations that you take up as you do go to the odd special event, like the olympic stadium tour. I'd imagine anything starting 'Dear Mr. Geezer, as one of London's premier 2012 Olympic bloggers we'd like to invite you to...' wouldn't go straight into the bin...

But, disgruntled, that is an example of a perfectly targeted PR campaign, that has researched its audience and contacted people who are truly interested in the content.

It would be well targeted at DG, and that's someone doing their job perfectly.

These posts are about lazy PR bods, who don't think before they email.

i think DG is secretly flattered by the attention, correct me if i am wrong....

DG, I am disappoint. You could at least have made that URL redirect somewhere amusing.
