Rihanna for Armani

Advertising Age editors were surprised to read in the Daily Mail and elsewhere that they did a sexiest-ad poll and Rihanna’s work for Armani came up the winner.

“After seeing the attention the sexiest-ad survey got, we kind of wish we’d done one.”

The Daily Mail tells Ad Age that it heard about the poll via a press release from TNI Press Ltd. that said “the 23-year-old singer’s daring display was hailed the best of the year in a poll of advertising industry chiefs carried out by U.S. magazine Advertising Age.”

Ad Age’s Nat Ives writes: “We called and wrote TNI but haven’t heard back.”

From JOHN KELLY: I’ve become accustomed Britain’s Daily Mail ripping off The Washington Post, where I work, and throwing in a few “according to The Washington Posts” to make it seem okay. But I can’t find any credit in this story by a “Daily Mail Reporter.”

Oh, here’s where they got it from, the AP.

The nerve of those limeys….

From the AP:

We’ve alerted the Daily Mail, an AP subscriber, to this latest incident of miscrediting AP content.
