I’m sure we all have seen those videos around YouTube and Facebook, cheekily titled $h!t _____ say!   I have to admit, one afternoon I got stuck on YouTube chuckling at the many things different types of people say.  New York based Hunter Public Relations decided to have a little fun, and produced their own video capturing the stuff PR people say.

I lost my freedom. I lost my money and I lost my family. All because of irrational decisions and using poor judgement. Think before you speak, think before you act and think before you make decisions in life. — Michael Vick
