PR eats itself

Karen Thomas - ValleywagThomas PR is so proud of its new contract, it did what it does best: the agency sent out a press release about itself. Yes, a press release about a PR agency signing a deal. Says a reader, "I thought the point of hiring a PR agency was to get press for your company, not press for the agency."

> Melville, NY, April 10, 2006 > -> Thomas Public Relations, Inc. http://www.thomaspr.com, the leading public relations agency for Macintosh technology, announced today that it has been chosen agency of record by Spymac www.spymac.com, the world> '> s largest online Mac community based in NY, Dusseldorf, Germany and Alberta, Canada.

Pictured: Thomas prez Karen Thomas. The entire autoerotic press release (nasty forward-formatting and all) is after the jump.
