In my local area there was a certain PR person that would always e-mail me press releases for my hyperlocal site. You know, the standard mass e-mail to everybody with the release copy/pasted in the e-mail.

This person recently switched jobs. One problem.

The other day I received a release about a local bank but it had come from a medical firm. I thought...that's strange, I really don't see the connection between the two. Then I made the connection. This person was sending press releases for their new job while still working for the old one. Not really a good idea.
