All of the DCist editors get hundreds of press releases every week, but Music Editor Amanda Mattos and I probably get more than most. We’re always happy to receive information from publicists about events or stories affecting the D.C. metro area — they often make our jobs easier, in fact.

But fairly often, we receive press releases that, to put it lightly, cause us to question the mental faculties of certain publicists. For months now, this has resulted in a personal competition between Amanda and I as to who has been sent the worst (or best?) press release every week. Be they totally irrelevant to our readers and what we cover, written in a tone so enthusiastic they could easily be converted to fodder for high school cheerleaders (the number of exclamation points is always a good indicator of this type), or occasionally, borderline insane, Amanda and I amuse ourselves regularly with what publicists think we ought to care about. And today, we thought it was high time we share some of the fun with you.

This won’t be a regular feature in the sense that we’ll post one on the same day every week, but look out for our new “We Get Press Releases” category for the next time we get one worth sharing. Below, our favorite press release of the week:
