Most of the releases we receive are from dedicated health care PR pros. If the topics aren't right up our alley, then they tend to be at least tangentially related to what we cover. But yesterday we got a doozy. Put it this way: we never thought we'd be considering the question "Which Air Cannon is right for me?" At least not during our day jobs.Although this latest bit of press-release inspired amusement is right out of left field, but it did inspire us in a we-thought-everyone-was-done-making-fun-of-Exubera-but-maybe-not sort of way. What you see up there on the right is an "Air Cannon." It's hard to imagine the PR guy who is pitching a biopharma-medical device magazine on a story about these babies really thinks it'd be of much use to, say, Pfizer or Medtronic (or for that matter thinks much at all), but we gave it a shot:
- next-generation Exubera inhaler
- tired of waiting for your prescription to be filled at the pharmacy? Just give the pharmacist your coordinates and wait for your statins to land on your front lawn
- spice up panel discussions by shooting "My vice president of business development went to Pharmaceutical Strategic Alliances and all i got was this lousy T-shirt" shirts into an unsuspecting audience
So any of you PR folks out there who can occasionally find us unresponsive ... take note. When Air Cannons, Inc. Provides Creative Ways to Whip Crowds into a Frenzy shows up in the old in-box, we're all over it.
