I agree, myspace is going to be the next big thing on the internet, but this pr is pathetic. A corporation should not be putting out pr's like this...

Guys... I have been in long for awhile now, but what the hell was this?
If you want to market your drinks towards the "hip" young crowds... Then using myspace is a good first step, but why do it this way?
I could understanding issuing a press release that stated something similar to:
1) Rush realizes our drinks are not just for health nuts anymore, but that of the younger generation.
2) Marketing research has shown that younger people are looking for traditional cola alternatives.
3) Provide some stats and fluff to back #1 and #2 statements.
4) Announce that Rush has teamed up with MySpace.com for a radical national promotion of Rush cola's to select MySpace registered users.
5) Follow #4 up with a promise to release some statistics in the future regarding the response of myspace users.
That was the weekest PR I have EVER SEEN! It is just about equal to:
Today... President of Rush decided he would eat chili and then took a dump for 1.2 hours in our new bathroom that recently had Armstong tile installed. COME ON!
And what REALLY concerns me is that the PR was released by Christie!!! If this is our official PR company, I think we should be looking for another.

I just do not understand the big news and hipe about myspace.That site is made up of mostly kids that are under the age of 18.Please some one tell me more about myspace and how it is so great for the selling of this product.I just dont see how kids that age are going to be that concerned about health drinks.I am not trying to be negative just realistic.Maybe I am just not getting the full picture.

I am wondering why would they even release this as a share holder I must say if this is A PR I am very disappointed.

Yeah... I heard the 2nd PR is going to be the following:
BLUE ISLAND, Ill., Apr 17, 2006 (BULLSH_T WIRE) -- RushN*t, Inc. (Pink Sheets:RS*N) announces a staggering development in operations.
Today President "Robert C*rr" drove into the office and spilled coffee on his pants. He suffered severe burns to his legs and groin and has decided to seek financial gain from McDonalds. He has indicated that all gains from this action will go towards the purchase of the new brewery.
Other corporate initatives have resulted in freshly painted fire exit stairs, new plants for our lobby and a recent purchase of a robotic floor sweeper to replace our costly janitorial staff.
Recent marketing news and product evaluations have also found that many of our customers are unable to open our bottles of cola and health drinks. We will be creating new labels that read "lefty loosy, righty tight'y" in an attempt to assist customers with our popular drinks.
All of the above statements are totally BS and should not even be considered forward looking statements. You may wish to remove commas, periods or spacing and/or alter the letters in the PR to morph it into something that will work for you.
Zheezzz... What a crappy display of corporate leadership and direction.

there are loads of High school and college kids in the Myspace "seen"...and these "kids" don't really drink "soda" "pop"...they are into the "health" drinks, flavored water, juice, sports drinks and what not...These "people" are the group that would buy this...IMHO...

After that pathedic PR, we may see a huge spike in selling.
Man... I am so freak'n disappointed. I know myspace is a GREAT venue to promot Rush, but they are going about it ALL WRONG!
Myspace is HUGE with the young crowd and their stock is also climbing... It will probably be the next google, but for hook-ups and chats/forums. They really should have "firmed" up an official deal with MySpace before releasing a PR that a third party simply created an account there. Big freakn deal.

who would be selling .well reading the forums after 4 PR and seeing PPS drop after each one I am guessing investors moving on to others investments .I will going to downsize my position by 50after the last PR but now looking at 75% at least till I see a better quality of PR being release
hoping to get back to .0069 then I am selling is my plan to be honest.

the thing with kids and energy drinks is availability, no ones gonna try 3 stores looking for 1 energy drink in particular. if its there they'd buy it, and its probably gonna be a red bull. im not bashing, mind you, i am a shareholder, but put the damn drinks on shelfs with pretty packaging is all we need!

Thanks , zowwie438 I needed that laugh. Hard to beleive someone would think that is a PR worth putting out. I mean its not bad new's its just not anything of real value.PR's should have positive news about deals and contracts,numbers,$$$$$$ etc.I am sure there is a real PR to come soon.

My space is the largest chat site in America. It is good exposure, but I wouldn't release PR about it. My space is used by more people over 18 than under. It was started a couple of years ago for unsigned bands to get their name and material out there. It just grew to the giant it is now by word of mouth. Millions of people use the site on daily basis.

quote:Originally posted by AgentGPF: I hope you guys aren't whining because it didn't boost the PPS. Anyone need a tissue?
Agent... I think I may echo a great number of share holders opinions with the following statements.
1) We are not pissed that the PR released today didn't boost our shares.
2) We are not pissed that Rush issued a PR.
3) We are pissed that it was so damn pathetic and ignorant.
4) We are pissed that Christie (our professional PR firm) would release this kind of crap.
5) We are hoping that Rush leaders will review future press releases and make darn sure the compliment their business VS sounding like the corporation is ran by village idiots.
6) Most of us agree that MySpace is a GREAT marketing location for Rush.
7) The act of marketing this stuff on MySpace is a good idea, but not by simply creating a user account and adding some lame arse images and background tiles.
8) If Corr wishes to team up with MySpace... Then be a business man about it and schedule a telephone conf and do it right! Not this half arsed crap. What is next? A Rush site on yahoo forums as well?
In closing... I don't wish for people to think that I am turning against Rush or I am not in long anymore... But I had more faith in this man's talents and I had FAR MORE faith in Christie as a PR company with respect to seeing such a useless PR.
If this is the route that Rush wishes to pursue (younger crowd)... Then perform the proper marketing research and do it right. Secondly, if Christie was my PR firm and released a PR like that... She would be fired within minutes of it's release!

I will agree that it is more of a fan site rather than a professional agreement at this point, it would be nice to see a little advertising actually done there if it can be handled. Supposedly all orders are completed but I thought I heard at least one person here say different.

As an investor in RSHN, I think the quality of the PR has been terrible. When is there going to be a public filing with the SEC, When will we see some profit and loss numbers, when will we see the committment to the share holder as the shareholder is giving to RSHN. I hold 42 Million shares and at this time. I believe I am about to liquidate my whole position in the company unless something solid is provided. I know Rome was not built in a day, but it did burn in one...so, with this said, I want some answers that all the investors want... when will we get them... and do not give us anymore fluff about Myspace.com That PR was just plain pathetic.
Awaiting answers,
Regards,

Thanks, I just know if I traded my company publicly I would provide the answers that would instill conifence in my investors. I would not tell you about the fact I started an interest group on Yahoo.
