After writing a recent post on flooding in Bloomingdale, I got a PR pitch from a company that produces sand-less sandbags. I wasn’t really surprised—companies and their PR department are constantly scouring the Internet and social media for opportunities to promote themselves. But sometimes the timing can just seem a little awkward.

The Examiner’s Alan Blinder managed to get the emails sent to former D.C. Council Chair Kwame Brown just as he was resigning from office for bank fraud and campaign finance violations, and among the mix of notes of support and disappointment is an interesting pitch from…a moving company. Wrote John Kane, the president and CEO of Office Movers Inc.:

Kwame,

Do you need my company, Office Movers Inc to come in and move any mementos in your office and store until you decide what you want to do with them? We can do it in the evening with an unmarked truck.

Kane does stress that he’s not looking for any opportunities with the city, but rather just extended a “friendly gesture on my part.”
