Mormon Jeopardy icon Ken Jennings has been finding out that blogging can be hazardous to your public image. Take a look here. Ken also got ripped by the NY Post here. Ken responded yesterday pointing out that his comments were, um, tongue in cheek. The trouble all started with Ken’s blog entry here. My take: it’s pretty obvious that Ken was engaging in parody, but I’m not sure of the purpose of his blog post. There were a few funny lines, but why even be perceived to make fun of Jeopardy? Standard “public relations protocol” calls for Ken to only say completely nice things about the show that brought him fame. Yes, he’s smarter than most people, but there are a lot of readers who simply aren’t going to catch on to his sense of humor. If he had asked my opinion, I would have said: “stay away from any jokes about Jeopardy and Alex Trebek.” I’m willing to be convinced I’m wrong. What do you Bloggernacle types think?
