Now if he really wanted to get shit done, he should know the Mayor of Chicago

but really though, fuck this guy. I hope the backlash is swift and hilarious.

I think I finally understand what this controller does. Who the fuck really needs this? I mean if it's a good tool for someone who needs it because they can't handle a controller in a normal fashion then sure, that's cool, but it looks like someone melted a bunch of plastic on the controller and now it "MAKE YOU A BETTER GAMER!"

It's hard to believe that a company like this can actually make money. Surely not. I hate this kind of language even when it doesn't contain a bunch of mistakes.

So, is that guy supposed to be the company's end-consumer mouthpiece?

Because, um. He's pretty goddamn terrible at it.

Wasn't going to buy, won't be buying, will be sharing, all that fun stuff.

Also, there is such a thing as bad publicity.

One thought that came to mind every time he pulled the "I'm a high-powered corporate executive" schtick was: "Okay, if you're so high-powered and have people at your disposal, then why are you working the customer service line?" Unless he's doing the Jim Sinegal thing to get an idea of what the front-lines are like, there's very little reason for someone who supposedly has "125 dedicated people to run PR" to be fielding customer e-mails.

Ah yes, and insulting an extremely popular established web site with a widespread devout following that likely coincides with your target market segment? Not a good idea.

Hahaha, oh lord. This guy does "Social media reputation management":
http://www.oceanmarketinginc.com/Reputation-Management.php

A prospective client Google’s your company’s name. What does he find? He finds negative publicity about you. Will he associate with you? Chances are that he would skip your name in the searches and hire your competitor.

Every day, Google receives over two billion search requests and this evidently proves that people want to learn and investigate on the net. Irrespective of their field of business, most of the companies or individuals search the whereabouts of any company on the net before starting a new business venture with them. The ones who search also look for the testimonials provided by the clients/customers of a company. For buying products, people check out the product reviews. Bad product reviews translate into lesser sales.

We help you to displace or remove the negative search engine results and listings about your organization or company. We use an effective lineup of techniques to dilute and eliminate the search engine results about you that are negative.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Why don't people like this get fired more. When in PR, the one main priority you have is to NOT START A SHITFIGHT ON THE INTERNET. Like with a butchers where numero uno on the no-no list is sticking your dick in the meat.

And yet dude will probably get off with a stern talking to. Fire people! This is when its okay! Give someone competent, yet most likely unemployed, the job!!

I'm glad enterprises of this type are disinclined to hire an editor. I wouldn't wish it on anybody.

He just tweet back saying essentially No you suck scott lowe! We gave you how many units and how many conversions.

I did my best to preserve the grammer because I'm still not sure how to interpret it.

Edit: there we go below.

These tweets are amazing:

- Scott Lowe
Paul Christoforo's claims that he has my and @IGN's support are UNFOUNDED. I worked with him briefly and he was completely unprofessional.
