Clarification on DWPub and the 'Jackenhacks'

It has come to my attention that the organisers of a dubious event have been using the Daryl Willcox Publishing name in some sort of attempt to gain credibility.

The 'Jackenhacks' event for the technology PR community, occuring this Wednesday in an insalubrious part of London, has been giving the impression that Daryl Willcox Publishing is an official sponsor.

I'd like to place it on record that Daryl Willcox Publishing has no connections whatsoever with the Jackenhacks and wouldn't for one minute consider tarnishing our brand by association with such a clearly tasteless event. I am considering our next steps with the assistance of a firm of well-known libel lawyers.

I've been here before, only last year we were hoodwinked into sponsoring something called the 'Flackenhacks' which seemed to have the gloss of a professionally run networking event but turned out to be a wilful abandon of booze and cheap jokes, not to mention the rubbish PA system.

Anyway, quite how the very respectable Mr Waddington and Mr Earl from Speed Communications got mixed up with this latest 'Jackenhacks' malarkey is beyond me, though they suggest their involvement was an attempt at protection - which of course backfired.

If you take the questionable decision to attend this shady event and by chance notice my presence then I just want to make it clear my attendance will be purely for research purposes and does not imply any kind of endorsement.

Many thanks for the endorsement.

We've run your post through our tag generator -- it sits next to Earl's Jizzometer and is powered by paraffin.

The results are fantastic: "dubious", "insalubrious", "tasteless", "cheap" and "rubbish" emerged really big.

Which suggests that our messaging is having the desired effect.

Meanwhile, our logo might have been illegal before you altered it. But now it's both illegal and good.

Cheers,

-- The Jackenhacks

PS: What, exactly, will you be researching tomorrow night?

Fortunateley for you my lawyers were a bit busy today, something to do with a national newspaper and toxic waste or something.
My research tomorrow will be mainly focussed on a detailed examination of the contents of the Jackenhacks bar. It seems only right. Hic.
