I hate some PR people… And by some I mean “PR Guru” Max Clifford…
This man is a true scumbag, if there is anyone more deserving of being first against the wall when the revolution comes, then it’s Max Clifford. Anytime a high profile story breaks in this country, Max Clifford has his fingers in the pie somewhere…
Take this last week for instance… On Monday a story broke in the gutter trash tabloids about a group of footballers from a major English Premiership club involved in a gang rape of a 17 year old girl over the weekend.
Now don’t get me wrong, I DO NOT condone sexual assault, in fact it’s the most repulsive thing I can think of, but when I first heard about it, part of me said “this sounds like a Max Clifford scheme to get money out of the scummy Sunday newspapers”. That in it’s self speaks volumes about the man. But no, this is different, Max isn’t involved, he isn’t sitting in his plush office spewing bullshit statements about how this poor unfortunate soul came to me for advice… So I was forced to rethink, maybe this story was holding water after all.
Until I hear tonight that who else but Max Clifford has been giving the accuser some Public Relations advice… Now Max Clifford isn’t cheap, and I sincerely doubt a 17 year old could afford someone of his stature, so you can bet a deal with some Sunday newspaper is paying for this.
I can already see how this is going down…
The players names will be leaked, naming and shaming them.
The Sunday tabloids will get their exclusive with the girl (accompanied with pictures of her in, shall we say, provocative poses).
The case will go to court and after a long waste of time it will be thrown out because the media have tainted the jury’s perception of the case before it even began.
We all wait a year or so and the whole merry-go-round will start up again…

Oh so very true Gregor, so very true…
max clifford…the scum of tabloid scum
Max Clifford is also a liar, During the Michael Jackson trial there was a tabloid news story that Michael Jackson had sacked his PR representative Raymone Bain, Max Clifford then claimed Michael had came to him for help but he refused, he said
“He came to me a month ago and I turned him down,”
“It would be the hardest job in PR after Saddam Hussein and I would be astounded if he could turn things around.”
“People were extremely offended by even some of the things he admitted in court.”
But recently Michael Jackson released a statement about the death of his friend John H. Johnson, and this statement was released by Raymone Bain, the one who was said to have been fired, the story was false and she was never sacked. It just looks like Max Clifford is once again trying to get publicity from stories which he is not involved in, he didn’t even do his research before he lied, he said “People were extremely offended by even some of the things he admitted in court” when Michael Jackson never testified during the trial, he didn’t even say a word.
I cannot stand Max Clifford, every time there is a big news story he is on TV acting like he knows better than everyone else, I cannot stand him, I want to scratch his eyes out.
