Shiver Me Timbers: Whoops! When emails leak.

Whoops! When emails leak.

The world is awash in a tidal wave of news about sarah palin. The latest, is that a 4chan user engineered his way into her yahoo email account (which has now been deleted). Luckily, there is some damming evidence from the limited data this "hacker" was able to obtain. Here's a story a little more down to earth.

A PR firm by the name of Adam Kluger PR mistakenly sent an email to an anti-advertising group! This group created a fake brand (why I'm not 100% sure, but I'm guessing its a media project designed to education the public how the fashion industry works and the shady practices on which it depends), this brand is called Double Happiness Jeans. The ad firm basically sent an unsolicited message about including this fake brand into the song lyrics of some high profile recording artist. It doesn't matter which one, they're all for sale, for a price. The message has been published to the Anti Advertising Agency blog and has since gone on to stir up some buzz! Either Adam Kluger himself, or a lawyer acting on his behalf has contacted the Anti Advertising Agency several times in attempt to suppress this story. Its just too good!

UPDATE: (A representative from Adam Kluger Public Relations in New York City (http://www.adamklugerpr.com/) contacted wired.com to say that there should also be no confusion over the fact that their New York City based PR Firm, founded by a former television producer (CNN, FOX), also coincidentally named Adam Kluger, is not involved in this issue in any way and should not be confused with the Adam Kluger quoted above in this article.)
