July 24, 2012

The surprise of a lifetime was unveiled at Westfield Stratford City as Adidas brought astonished shoppers face to face with global icon David Beckham. … The little boy and his mum seem genuine, but the others featured look like they could have been hired by the Adidas marketing team. Some may have even already appeared in the numerous ad campaigns leading up to the Olympics.

UK PR MOVES: FOOTBALLER ASHLEY COLE JOINS TWITTER

July 23, 2012

It has been an interesting couple of weeks for Chelsea FC star Ashley Cole. First he rocked up to Westminster Magistrates’ Court to defend his team mate, “good friend”, master and nasty piece of work John Terry.

The mainstream media who up until this point hated Cole because he cheated on his former wife Cheryl Tweedy  (“nation’s sweetheart” and the convicted batterer of Sophie Amogbokpa  ) then suddenly LEAPED to his defence.

July 22, 2012

Is footballer John Terry racist? Well most of you already know what I think. But check out SB.TV’s recent debate on the subject matter featuring rapper Scorcher (#Sports By Scorch). WARNING: Some profanity. [Thanks Lorraine] Scorcher made some good points. However I don’t agree with his comments with regards to the word “nigger/nigga”.  Misguided black folk need to stop believing that it can be used as a “term of endearment” and can now be seen as “positive”. The word is vile and evil […]

Yesterday I posted the news that Britain’s leading black newspaper (for 30 years) The Voice had been denied press accreditation to cover the 2012 games.

News that the highly respected and prominent African-Caribbean publication had been denied access in to the Olympic stadium has now gone viral  (the BOA didn’t see this coming) and now an online petition has been set […]
