I totally understand that for some, the media can be intimidating. But, honestly dahrlings, calling us names and a bunch of underpants is just not nice.
It all started with Sarah Pain whining about gotchies in the media and how they all had it in for her. Really, Sarah? How would you like it if I called you a panty pundit, you ignorant slut? Most of us are really very kind.
Even decent people are giving journalists the bum’s rush when asked for an interview. Can you blame them? God knows what kind of degradation a loose band of underwear will inflict.
No wonder a gang of travel brass were running down Toronto streets last Friday night marking their laundry. CBC TV’s Marketplace cameras were after them! The investigative show did a piece on travel insurance and caught travel agents on hidden camera giving bad advice. The show invited ACTA’s Dave McCaig, as well as Thomas Cook and Marlin spokespeople to participate. All turned them down.
Frankly, it makes us look like we’re an industry of 12 year old girls. Sarah Palin fills bigger underwear.
Pumpkins, I know your travel insurance rep is your BFF and everything is all pillow fights and commissions. But let’s get a grip, shall we? Your clients risk forking out hundreds of thousands of dollars if the travel insurance medical form is even slightly off. Don’t minimize its importance and don’t pretend you are the expert on their medical records.
