eStragand Makes Front Page of Denver Post
Slow news week leaves Post reporters quoting eStragand

Denver- February 24, 2003- The EStragand Corporation held a press conference today, to announce their recent inclusion on the Denver Post's front page for the February 23, 2003 edition. "We are very pleased that someone actually interviewed us, quoted us and made us seem somewhat intellgient" announced the eStragand Corporatin PR lackey.

In what was a seemingly slow news weeks in Denver, the eStragand Corporation was consulted by local reporter Ricardo Baca, seeking opinions on the recent nightclub fire in Rhode Island. The chance meeting/quoting occured at roughly 10:30 pm on Friday February 21, 2003 upon the conclusion of the Audioslave concert at the Fillmore Auditorium.

"At first, we thought someone was asking for our expert critical opinion of the show... but we were still delighted to provide words of wisdom on the recent nightclub fire. We were even more delighted to wake up on Sunday morning and see our name quoted on the front frickin' page, invading thousands of breakfast tables across the state!"

After taping roughly five minutes of rambling bullshit from the eStragand Corporation, Baca was able to edit the babblings into the following (blatantly stolen from DenverPost.com):

Not everyone was as impressed with the new safety measure, however.

"It's condescending," said Erick Stragand, 28. "They feel they have to do something because of that tragedy last night, so they're just telling people to look at the exits out of obligation."

"Someday, we hope to actually make the paper for doing something significant, but baby-steps...baby-steps" concluded the PR lackey. The conference then ended as the PR lackey had to hurry home and tape Andy Griffith on TBS.

The attending crowd was rather jovial and enjoyed the free resfreshments, with the Peanut Butter M/M's scoring high marks. Colorado Governor Bill Owens was on hand to commment on the events: "This proves that Colorado is a dynamic, interactive and exciting state, with generally nice weather". Owens was then thrilled to discover that M/M's can transform into W/W's when rotated 180 degrees.
