Understatement OTD: "One of the things we will be looking at urgently is the communications team"

Understatement OTD: “One of the things we will be looking at urgently is the communications team”

By tigtog on June 18, 2012

Says the representative of the Argyll and Bute Council in Scotland, whose heavy-handed response streisand-effected a regional scandal into a worldwide media storm about attempts to censor a schoolgirl blogging their school lunches. Now the school lunch menu is being reformed, and the furore helped her raise more than £80,000 for development charity Mary’s Meals. Martha Payne is authentically awesome.

Now those tweets are the top results for a search on his name on Google. George Tierney Jr of Greenville SC wanted that fixed.

Burzynski Clinic, meet Streisand Effect - you're going to be spending some time together

Burzynski Clinic, meet Streisand Effect – you’re going to be spending some time together

By tigtog on November 29, 2011

When skeptics start questioning the scientific basis for the Burzynski Clinic’s highly expensive “antineoplaston” cancer therapy, that’s the time that you are supposed to offer proof of therapeutic benefit. Issuing threats instead tends to make it look like the Burzynski Clinic just doesn’t have any proofs to offer.
