Pitch of the Day: Did Michael Jackson Die From Toxic Fat?

From time to time at PRNewser, we get the “I’m trying really hard to tie my client to a current event” pitch. Sometimes they’re actually relevant, sometimes they’re distasteful, and ocassionally they just really throw us for a loop. That’s what happened yesterday when a reader sent in a pitch and wrote, “This is the worst effort to ride a story ever.”

The subject line, in all caps, of course: “DID MICHAEL JACKSON DIE FROM TOXIC FAT?” But wait, it gets better.
