Grand Misc. Competition
This week at Trek BBS, the Grand Misc. Competition started. I found out my assignment this morning. It was:
Write a press release from the Tampax Corp explaining why their last batch of tampons was recalled.
That's great. This morning, I started and finished within 10 minutes. I'll post it here, even though it is incredibly weird. :)
-------------------------------------
URGENT NOTICE:
Memo
From: Tampa Corp.
To: Consumers in the Los Angeles, California Area
Our company has been informed of numerous problems with our most recent batch of Tampax Tampons. The management wishes our customers to know of the problems of this production. A disgruntled employee chose to add super glue to the mix. They have also added itching powder. Thus, many customers have gone mad, with no hope of recovery. If you buy the products, the code on the package is 555123456. Do NOT use these items.
We are taking immediate action to prevent this from happening again. The employee has been terminated by our resident Terminator. He shall not be causing problems (and possible lawsuits) elsewhere.
If you are reading this, and just employed the item in question, seek immediate medical attention. Surgery will be required, and quite possibly immediate psychiatric attention.
Please, if you have had your problem rectified, contact the following number. 1-800-555-TAMPON. You will be connected with someone who can explain the benefits you will receive: such as a sympathy card, complete with free Tampax Tampons for the next year.
Stay in good health.
Sincerely,
John Smith
Manager of Tampax Corp

Well, I think I should be embarressed by that. :)
