PR Firm Unwisely Tangles With Penny Arcade

Posted by Soulskill on from the internet-lynch-mob-engaged dept.

New submitter FSWKU writes "Courtesy of Penny-Arcade, Paul Christoforo of Ocean Marketing provides a perfect example of what not to do when interacting with customers, especially if you are doing so on behalf of another company. There's name dropping, an ego trip worthy of Charlie Sheen, and even what appears to be a promise to commit libel. Other outlets are already picking up the story and running with it, and an examination of Ocean Marketing's website has generated accusations of plagiarism."

    At least Charlie Sheen's ego has some success to support it, what has this guy done other than troll the entire internet?

      Dave: Give me my money back, Paul.
      Paul: I'm sorry, Dan. I'm afraid I can't do that.

    I'm hearing now that it's a hoax.

    Ever heard of imports, and people shipping overseas as gifts? Nah, probably not. Get back under your bridge, troll.

    Nor is it a valid comment. Anyone writing "Just Wow" or "Wow, Just Wow" is a fucking idiot and needs to stop writing until they pull their head out of their ass.

    I never knew that! All I can say is Wow, just wow! Thanks for the enlightenment.

    No, the real question is: have those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked been sacked?
