Ass kissers

They say it’s a serious business. And I agree. Ass kissing is serious. So is public relations. I have yet to meet a PR professional who has not kissed my ass to get a press release published.
I realise that is a sweeping statement. Alas, it is true. In my newspaper career, I have been a sub, a chief sub, a news editor, an assistant editor, a night editor and an editor-in-chief. At every stage I have encountered PR professionals and all they have done is kiss my ass. Which is why I will never be in PR. Ever.

Even if you were in PR, could you have kissed your own ass? :-)
