Stupid PR pitch of the day

Dear Baltimore Media:
Hanala Stadner, L.A. author, TV personality and substance abuse counselor to celebrities, is coming to town Oct. 26-28 with an interesting story to tell -- as well as personal insight into the real reasons behind recent meltdowns by Britney, Lindsay, Paris and others.

Hanala knows exactly why these celebrities are struggling with the law and various addictions because she's been there herself -- and is now using her own recovery experiences and new Hollywood memoir, a humorous blend of wit and wisdom to help others.

She is available for timely media comment and speaking engagements Oct. 26-28. Scroll down for details and photos.

Seems like a completely reasonable pitch to me. Curious what other pitches you considered for this posting? Read the 10/15 story, "Markets brace for 'Black Monday' anniversary" in the News Journal this week. Someone else thought your stupid pitch was newsworthy.
