I love that whole ignorance as a defence line ... a whole PR department with no cultural knowledge between them! -- does that stretch credibility or just describe a typical PR department and its budding spin doctors?

It's typical. I've worked in a couple of PR/Marketing Departments and with many others. All prized short-term memory, pop culture and dumbing down.

Having said that, I think it's unfortunate a rather lovely female name is being excised from the lexicon because of one over-rated, over-exposed and under-whelming book.
