Spokespeople Who Don't Know Much

Austin is weird. They've got a blogger website with commentary by readers who love to insult bloggers because they hate them and what they post on their websites for other people to read.

Yeah, let's keep that.

What irritates me is that they couldn't name a single Austin band that they like. They could have mentioned a friend's band or just said, "That one band that was on the OC," or even made something up. Anything would be better than, "hee-hee-hee!" *twirl hair*.

Tsk tsk...lot's of negativity. I agree with Surreal Appeal, a quick 10 minute prep is the least that they could do to prepare their cheap labor for easy questions. If these companies come to SXSW to market to the SX masses they could at least give a little effort to show that they know what's going on with their own products or even the event that they are marketing at.

Why wouldn't you want booty shorts? Women are drawn to them like flies to honey my friend.

The important thing to note is that... I want a Miller Lite sweatband... I want one very badly. Oh, and booty shorts.

What the hell do you need to know about Miller beer that is going to change the way you go about your life anyway? It tastes like crap and gets you drunk for cheap.

Kudos again to Austinist, home of the most irritable posters on the internet.

Complete waste of time. What is the point of this?

I used to hire street teams, and granted these girls may be hot and hard up for some Lincolns, but I think the mgr's who hire these folks should make sure to do due diligence and sit them down for 10 quick minutes and impress upon them the talking pints and answers to questions they might come across promoting the brand to a drunk public, so they can respond quickly enough...it could be that the folks hirings are just not that great at communicating the simple & easy mktg techniques to promote a brand to the general public.

I find it amusing how geeky it is to write a negative bit about hot chicks who give you free beer. Have you reached level 8 on the new Zelda yet?

uhh... most of these people get paid $10 an hour off a craigslist posting for quick cash for sxsw. if anything, blame their employer.

really, aren't there about... thousands of more interesting stories/characters/situations in Austin on any given day, let alone this week, besides "man on the street" interviews with promo people?

But I completely jumped over my point which is this - blogger guy is right, neither group of people knew jack shit about what they were promoting. But at least the podcast pickle kid was able to answer a question coherently without cracking up at every word coming out of his mouth like he was Eddie Murphy c. 1987.

Damn, guys, do a better job next time. Not the blogger, but you li'l bud light girls crying all over Austinist cause you can't speak worth a shit.

Good work, blogger guy, whoever you are. I thought it was entertaining. But really, "cheesedick" is right - who the hell's gonna ask a 18 year old tramp what her favorite band is? They didn't even know where they hell they live.

BORING!!!

I've run into those fine lookin' ladies downtown quite often and not only do they know their product but they're always sweet and friendly, apparently even to random cheesedicks that stop them on the street and ask for an interview.

Those "goons" that don't know "jackshit" were only asked one question about their product! They're out there promoting a beer not SXSW, asshole.

Sucks when you don't have a microphone to point at the subject...or any wind protection...don't make me blog "Videographers who Don't Know Much."

Bloggers who don't know much...

Looks like the lesson is, don't wast our fucking time posting shit like this. Not interesting at all. Did you really expect those goons to know jackshit? They're just trying to get an easy buck. Not even humorous. blah

effin DST...
