Because you’ll need it after reading this press release from Pepto-Bismol®.
This great photo – just in case my words aren’t enough to convey how I feel – is from ducamendes’ Flickrstream.

I understand the picture. Was this press release really necessary?

Your guess is as good as mine, Lisa…

I can only imagine disastrous results with this new “technology.”

You lost me. How’s the press release bad — other than the “about” stuff at the bottom?

It’s poorly-written, the quote (which I highly doubt the athlete actually said, is fatuous, and it’s basically much ado about nothing. The boilerplate is about the only sensible part of the release. I get that companies feel they have to do this stuff – but something short and to the point would have been much preferable, and it probably could have done without a wire release.
