Counter-Attack of the Killer Clowns [1]
Submitted by Diane Farsetta [2] on
As the anti-fast food documentary "Super Size Me [3]" hits theaters, McDonald's is fighting back. "We're responding aggressively because the film is a gross misrepresentation," said a company spokesperson. Helping defend McDonald's are "global nutritionist" Cathy Kapica and the corporate-funded American Council on Science and Health [4]. According to PR Week, ACSH's "aggressive independent third-party response" includes editorials on Tech Central Station [5], a website published by Republican lobbyists. Also under attack is Coca-Cola, for alleged "complicity in gross human rights violations" in Colombia, reports O'Dwyer's PR Daily. "We plan to destroy the image of Coca-Cola, for which it has spent millions to cultivate," said the Campaign to Stop Killer Coke [6]'s director. To "get the facts to all concerned parties," the soft drink giant launched www.cokefacts.org and www.killercoke.com -- the latter to "capture" people seeking the Campaign's website, www.killercoke.org.
