Ocean Marketing or how not to run a business

I am really surprised this was not posted earlier but taken direct from Penny Arcade

Update and back peddling apology follow up

I’ll clean up the OP later but if someone wants to create a TL;DR feel free

Wow…that was horrible to read.

Yea i know,srk is super laggy and i need to clean it up but i am at work.
Limited time right now.

lol what a dick.

That guy behaves worse than some of the shitheads I knew in highschool.

I meant the Ocean Marketing…they should be shut the fuck down.

Wow, great fucking thread to end the year! I really hope that asshat learns his fucking lesson. Customers are what make a business. Repeat customers are what make them successful.

When it comes to buying stuff, for me it’s very simple. Treat me right and I buy from you again, maybe even get you more business.

edit:
Ha, it gets better! I googled OceanMarketting and found this:

This Ocean Marketing controversy is delicious. I love watching the collective internet gather together to right a wrong, in this case Paul Christoforo and his asinine views on “PR”.

I especially liked it when Christoforo said, “he’s a customer unless you’re his boyfriend then you should side with the company not the customer. Be Careful.” Right, because that’ll work.

I also liked when he name-dropped people like Brian Crecente of Kotaku, Scott Lowe of IGN, and G4 in it’s entirety. Not only are all of these organizations distancing themselves, calling Christoforo “unprofessional” or something similar, but Brian Crecente tweeted that he doesn’t even know who Christoforo is and has never met him. Amazing.

My hats off to you, Paul Christoforo. You’ve really set the bar high for the next PR controversy.

No, I think he meant painful to read. As in that guy is a complete idiot asshole that should never again be allowed to sell anything in his life. I hope he catch ammonia. :tup:

I hate shit like this, we all need to get together and make sure this fools are exposed occupy OceanMarketing (sorta)

How could anyone think its a good idea to be a dick to your costumers?

Wow, why would someone go that far to act like that to piss off one customer?

The steroid.com post is 4 years old so i might be reaching a bit but it’s good for laughs anyway.

yeah this got all over the internet. Slashdot, penny-arcade, kotaku, and virtually every site, is annihilating this dick clown. I wanna see how bad he ends up failing or getting sued.

heh, check Penny Arcade for the updated emails, where the guy basically breaks down and turns on bitch mode and begs for forgiveness, offering his wife and children as sacrificial lambs.

And the makers of the Avenger controller have now wisely dropped Ocean Marketing.

This guy is seriously wacko. New twitter account being updated. All posts one of:

  • Ima sue Joel Johnson.
  • Im fireproof, you bitches can’t touch me.
  • I lost my job, what more do you want from me?
  • PLEASE MAKE IT STOP
  • I fucked your mother.

It really seems like Ocean Marketing is the one making and selling the Avenger from what I’ve seen.

Edit: D’oh, that’s wrong. Ocean Marketing is not the designer. My bad.

No they were a PR firm hired to advertise the product or some shit. Now that dude will be selling oranges off the freeway

From his twitter:

I love how he is posting on twitter every minute, replying to everybody. Must be what happens when u lose ur job. His roid fueled ego is still attacking everybody who laughs at him

I hope he enjoys his future job. Just remember, yes I WILL have fries with that.

…wow :rofl:

That is unfortunately a troll account. Real (and slightly less interesting) account here https://twitter.com/#!/OceanStratagy .

Either way
