Interesting. especially with last night's events:

http://www.imrg.org/survey/questions/virgin.htm#story


However I'm curious as to who looked dumber? Branson or the IMRG?


IMRG post a (humourous? were those serious questions?) questionnaire,

get 50 responses, and then  'At 11am the IMRG's chief executive James

Roper e-mailed Mr Branson to alert him to the response and "offer to

work with Virgin to realise your stated mission." '


So you tell the guy that 50 of your mates said he was a twat, and then

pitch at him? Weirdest sales tactic I've seen in a long while. 


And probably went straight in the bin with all the other crackpot mail

that the

richardbransonvirgin [dot] com

 or it's variants get.


The behaviour of that particular employee was pretty silly, but it

wasn't like you were acting professionally in the first place.
