Guys. Its really lame when you interview yourselves. "Brodes Proclaimed"?? Make sure you're not quoted in the article if you're posting it.

Don't pretend you're a mainstream newspaper. It's insulting to read.

Accredited, legitimate organizations send out news releases over a wire. This is not a news release, as only a few people will read it. This, my friends, is called a "blog post."
