Okay – everyone into the pool:

How many PR people does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

PR Manager answer:
Two. One to screw in the lightbulb, one to write the press release.

Corporate Communications answer:
We are aware of the light bulb and should we choose to participate, look forward to its implementation.

PR Firm answer:
Hmmm…lightbulb. That depends. Is this a launch? Are we taking it on tour? Let us think about it and we’ll get back to you with a proposal.

Hollywood PR Firm answer:
Just one lightbulb? Goddamn it! When I set this shoot up I told you explicitly that we were to have no less than 20 lightbulbs, a technical advisor and catered lunch for the talent. You want screwed? Give me the name of your boss, asswipe! You’re through in this town!

Brand communications answer:
Let’s not focus on the people or bulbs. Let’s own “light”.

Freaking hilarious. The brand communications one is too true. Couldn’t be more vague and unproductive.
