PR Funnies of the Day

Ok, this wasn’t today, but I had it around and thought it was pretty funny.

This was today:

~~For those unaware, Paul is the brilliant PR Guy behind the Penny Arcade Avenger Controller Fiasco/Wwebsite Meme.~~ Ok, I got got – it’s a parody account. Ironically, a very believable one.

Some folks just need to step away from the computer. Step away, folks.

You don’t have to post this comment, but it appears @oceanstretagy was a troll account. Paul’s actual account was @oceanstratagy for a while, but he changed it again. Here is more information on this fiasco than you could possibly need, and the writer is continually updating.

The link didn’t come through – can you email it to me? I can’t believe I didn’t catch that misspelling – teach me to believe Consumerist commentors.

This reminds me of The Bloggess and her Demonstration of Relevancy! (such a good read)

Wil Wheaton wrote about it here – http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/wwdnbackup/2011/10/please-stand-by-for-a-demonstration-of-relevancy.html

It was picked up by newsy blogs and PR blogs – http://www.prweekus.com/brandlink-stirs-up-loads-of-negative-pr-for-itself/article/214019/

And, of course, it EXPLODED all over Twitter. Martinez’s twitter account was deleted after he made his own terribly insensitive tweets in the midst of the furor.
