PR Geniuses at Work: Let’s Put Diamonds All Over The Product; the Bloggers will Love it.

Published on April 8, 2008 in Blogging and Shopping.

Bling is so passe. Even the word “bling” is goofy anymore. Please Wordworkers of the World (OMG - WoW is so overused too) please find another word to describe over the top ostentatiousness.
Here are a few things that have had diamonds an other precious gems added for improved performance:

iPods

iPhones

skulls

Pepsi can

Mickey Mouse Ears hat

Playstation Controller

It’s pop culture stuff with diamonds. I haven’t seen a diamond crusted Miller Chill bottle, nor a diamond bedecked pooper scooper.
As soon as my Google ™ deal comes through I will be launching a line of painted diamonds.
The anti-bling. The blong.

Wal-mart is the largest diamond retailer in the Milky Way.

Could not agree more - working in PR I am SO SO SO SO bored of others making the World’s most expensive / largest. It’s just lazy but does get coverage. Bling is so BORING.

@Emmylou: I keep forgetting you’re in PR. I’m glad you agree. Now I can tout that fact. 100% of my Public Relations readers agree. Sodding chocolate? Let’s not get carried away.

@Em:(I don’t know what sodding chocolate is - is that what we would call a cow pie?)
