NBR apologises for Veuve Clicquot competition confusion
The National Business Review unreservedly apologises for the confusion surrounding our 40th birthday competition. It was never our intention to cause confusion about the voting for the Win Your Weight in Veuve promotion but people have expressed frustration and we have listened to their concerns.
The official winner (as chosen by the judges from the top 10 voted entries) will be announced, on schedule, in NBR print tomorrow.
In addition, the publisher will personally provide Busted Blonde’s weight in Veuve Clicquot to her to demonstrate that NBR will not allow its integrity, transparency or honesty in its dealings with its readers to be compromised in any way. She received the most online votes in the competition and NBR happily salutes that success.
As a responsible host, the publisher would, however, appeal to Busted Blonde to urge her guests to wear life jackets if celebrating their win on Wellington Harbour. Let the festivities begin.
You bewdy! NBR and Veuve Clicquot faced an absolute PR nightmare yesterday as the blogosphere, followed some distance later by the MSM gave them a right good towelling over the NBR's 40th birthday promotion. They've done the only possible thing; backed down, sucked it up and put it right, as we suggested that they should, and in the best traditions of Alan Martin of LV Martin & Co.
Keeping Stock congratulates Busted Blonde on a belatedly happy outcome, and the authors are delighted to have played a small part in the campaign. Busted Blonde will use her good fortune to raise money for charity, so everyone's a winner. We can now look forward to the celebration!

Oi, we make the rules. Are you thick or what? We don't want no crass winners.

No capitulation here. We are right, you are wrong, eat that.

Here's some booze, STFU with the negative criticism.
