Oh, beehive! Rainier PR Facebook survey finds Amy-antics dullest summer story

Arnchajustsickofit? Bloody Amy Winehouse all over our papers – whether her feet are bleeding or her eyes are rolling – Londoners find ‘news’ about her a real turn-off, according to a survey we conducted on Facebook to gauge opinion on this year’s slew of summer stories.

Given a wide choice of options for what they viewed as the dullest long-running story of the summer, 48 per cent of the 1,000 Londoners we quizzed on Facebook said ongoing headlines about the Camden Crooner were more boring than Ronaldo’s on-off move to Madrid, the credit crunch, celebrity break-ups and whether we’ll finally see the back of Gordon Brown any time soon.

In a bid to wag the dog, the hastily organised survey followed my post last week on silly season stories.

It goes to show how fragile public good will is: despite her unquestioned unique talent and fresh sound and image, Amy’s public perception is now at an all-time low and we’re all apparently now bored by her ‘life’ in the flashbulb. Alas, she may be heading the way of Janice Joplin, but we’ll be busy reading other stories.
