I have a friend that works for Dateline and they are as aggressive as it gets.

Lesson to everyone, Don't talk to reporters, ever. If you absolutely have to..... pick your own time, place and talking points and don't be drawn off and expect to be "set-up" and never let them roll camera. Seriously. never. I work some in broadcast t.v. and I can edit video to make you say what ever I want.

It's best just to release a prepared statement that you had a lawyer review.

I love how she referred to it as an "infestation", but we love sensationalism! Thats why OJ and A.N. Smith got such great ratings. It was a slow news day so time to crucify some local businesses.

But... to play the devils advocate. It's journalisms job to "keep em' honest" and serve as a watchdog for the community. I just wish they would do it more professionally and without bias, slant, agenda or opinion.

With that said....Motherf*#!@&*s better back off of our MaiKai before we put some bad juju on their asses!!! Maybe I should show up at their house with white freakin gloves and some jack-booted camera jockey or maybe rubber gloves and a ceremonial paddle instead!

I say we get some of the TC Marketing talent that I know is out there to come up with a counterspin plan to thwart the bad press. I mean it's not their fault all of us Hukilau riffraff revelers left our flotsom & Jetsom about.
