'Let me take a selfie'

Here in the UK it is Mother's Day today and it would appear that THE QUEEN has jumped on the bandwagon of taking a 'selfie'. The well loved corgi's feature on the back of her iPhone case and other members of the royal family can be seen posing.

Whilst this photo looks convincing, they are indeed FAKE!

The photos were commissioned by NotOnTheHighsStreet.com  and artists Alison Jackson for a light-hearted Mothers Day PR stunt.

There are more pictures and youtube video (below) of the PR stunt.

Jamie Jones posted a letter on Twitter that he claimed came from car dealership website WeBuyAnyCar.com.


In the letter, they ‘reached the conclusion that you sent your request to simply waste our time’. He had tried to sell them a Little Tikes play car for children.





It received over 28,000 retweets in a day and was widely shared across social media, being picked up by sites like the Mirror. However, the letter was exposed as fake, with the Twitter user that posted it doubling his followers in the fallout of the stunt.


However, the condescending tone of the fake letter posed a PR challenge for WeBuyAnyCar.com. Yet how they dealt with the situation was amazing. They turned criticism around with some humorous responses.





Their tweets were even mentioned in The Metro.
