so, yesterday mike krahulik (Gabe) on Penny Arcade posted an extended email conversation between a customer and Ocean Marketing. The customer ordered some controllers in advance, promised them before xmas, they kept pushing the date back due to a huge backorder but failed to update their website and got bitchy when asked about it. I am not even done reading it yet but I have to post it, there is some hilarious shit talking. http://penny-arcade.com/2011/12/27/just-wow1 (http://penny-arcade.com/2011/12/27/just-wow1) (loads slowly, lots of traffic lol)
"Son Im 38 I wwebsite as on the internet when you were a sperm" gets about 5,120,000 results in .27 seconds on google. results like "Ocean Marketing Sucks, Incompetence Goes Viral" "PR firm gets blasted by media, digs deeper hole" "How to kill your company" in the first page
ocean marketing = fuckups.
here's some highlights (all quotes from Dave in PR; the customer was completely civil and reasonable the whole time)
"The noise complaint was for people high up on the food chain in a corporate world of real estate you have no clue about." (lol what a prick)
"Son Im 38 I wwebsite as on the internet when you were a sperm in your daddys balls and before it was the internet"
"Grow up you look like a complete child bro. I Don’t have my controller so im gonna cry to the world … Really ?? Hey take that free time and do something more productive." (LOL @ someone in the gaming industry telling gamers they are childish and to find something more productive to do.)
"Were in 6 countries and you’re not going to take my money for a booth that’s a crock I can guarantee I’ll get a booth if I want one money buys a lot and connections go even further. He’s a native Bostonian from Little Italy . Who are you again ?" (kekekek where you are from really matters, or didn't you know that son. /on snap: you just got told)
"Ill be on the floor anyway so come find me , I’m born and raised in Boston I know the people who run the city inside and out watch the way you talk to people you never know who they know it’s a small industry and everyone knows everyone."
"Little kids unhappy with a PRE ORDER starting trouble and you email that to us , he’s a customer unless you’re his boyfriend then you should side with the company not the customer. Be Careful"
tomorrow, when the world crashes down on this guy, we may feel pity. but today, we laugh
