What About the Weapon industry?

In the International advertising panel, Ashley Moran, Gretel Perera and Chaeles Webre were surprised by an unexpected question from one of the students in the audience.

“Do you know anything about the weapon industry?” an accented voice asked. The three panelists looked at each other, a long minute of silence sliced the discussion, “No,” said Moran, “no idea,” said Webre, “same,” said Perera.

What about the weapon industry? A quick research about PR and the weapon industry brought some interesting results:

One example for PR and weapons is the nuclear power lobby.The nuclear power industry is spending millions on public relations each year to revise the image of nuclear power from something dangerous, not to be touched, to something clean, green and desirable.

PR companies, have used an ex -Greenpeace spokesman to lobby for the nuclear industry in Congress and will not reveal how much they paid him.

Another example of PR and the weapon industry is the National Rifle Association, the most vocal and most recognized component of the "Gun Lobby." NRA it is best known outside of the shooting community as the most powerful advocate of individual rights to firearms ownership.

The most recent campaign of NRA in Congress was against the nomination of Sotomayor for Supreme Court judge. NRA has warned senators that a "yes" vote on Sotomayor will be included on its widely distributed candidate scorecard, the results are known to all.

So dear student, PR and weapon can be a good match, but your question was out of content. I guess you were not listening to what was said in the panel, maybe you were too busy tweeting or checking updates on your phone. One thing I can tell you for sure, you sure did a good job embarrassing yourself, stupid.
