Yo! Sushi: What's second prize!?!

This sounds like the worst competition prize in the world. I'm sure it's a good job if you have to do it for a living, but it's a poor, poor, poor competition 'prize'. Perhaps second prize is working in a fast food restaurant for TWO days.

(Thanks to the lovely Gemma for flagging). I'd call this a PR fail.

I bet you eat in fast food restaurants / buy a sandwich for lunch? have a drink in a bar? Do you look down on all the people who serve you? would a prize of a afternoon gaining experience in PR be as bad? How condescending, I don't now but was proud to work in the service industry, why do you feel you can look down on it?

You seem to have completely missed the point Frank but cheers for stopping by and commenting.

As I even say in the post, I'm sure it's a great job if you do it for a living but that doesn't change the fact it's a crap prize.

Of course I'm not looking down on anybody, but are you seriously telling me you think that's a great prize in a competition?

Of course it isn't.

Nice try though.

It's a great blog I love it,

I take your point it is not a great prize and lazy PR.

I just felt that I had to pick you up on "I'm sure it's a good job if you have to do it for a living" it was the "if you had to" maybe I read too much in it.

Thanks for the blog I do enjoy it

Cheers Frank, appreciate that.

I worked in a Bingo club for two years and loved every minute of it. I would never look down on a service job.

Regarding PR, I definitely would also consider a day working in an agency a pretty shabby prize.
