If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
As Simone's great rant points out, Public Relations folks (especially small-town PR folks who think they're big-city PR folks) are idiots. Since when does a press photographer need to give her SS# and proof of health insurance to shoot a small town event (that she's even shot before)? Apparently they do now.
