Many of my nerd friends (I realize that 'nerd' and 'my friends' is redundant) have already seen this, but for the rest of you.. damn.

Suffice to say, if you're a PR marketing guy and you feel like you can rant, no one will notice if you give a really unprofessional ridiculously inappropriate reply to a customer with a legitimate complaint, DON'T DO It! And here's why:

And here's what happened just SEVEN HOURS later...

Moral of this story: Don't f*ck with the nerds. We will smite you, most likely scoring a critical hit.

My God.  The customer was much more patient than I would have been.  Nobody like that guy should even THINK about going into PR and marketing.

He evidently had gotten to his job by claims and threats, not by performance.

And notice the huge difference in tone between his boasting, threatening messages and his sniveling whining ones.

It's even better.  The majority of his website, including the "ethics" section, were stolen from other websites. He's a real piece of work.

And keep in mind ALL of this happened TODAY. And since then he has closed his twitter account, started a new one, and has still been found by people. Also, he's now an internet meme: http://imgur.com/a/co8js

serves him right, what DID he think he was doing. Customers arent ALWAYS right, but sweet gawd, you dont treat them like a snot nosed asshole. ESPECIALLY when you are contracted to a company that you dont own.
Stupid ass

Amazonian reviewers are in on the fun: http://www.amazon.com/Playstation-3-Avenger-Controller/product-reviews/B005CMZJL6/ref=cm_cr_dp_all_helpful?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending

I'm starting to feel bad for the inventor, although he should have vetted his PR firm better.

Hysterical, brutal, and deserved.  Ocean Marketing is good as dead now.



ShaharThorne -> RE: See, this is why you should mess with nerds on their home turf. (12/28/2011 2:09:25 PM)

My geeks are high fiving each other and I am just LMFAO on this.

This wasn't Cristoforo's first time being a jerk when the Avenger controller failed to deliver: http://www.natesnetwork.com/Poor-customer-service

Edited to add: he's dropped his last name and changed his company name to Ocean Distribution on his LinkedIn page (only partially.  In typical slipshod fashion, his Summary refers to Ocean Marketing, and his Testimonial gives his full name.  The guy can't even edit properly).  http://www.linkedin.com/pub/paul-c/1/295/835

I particularly found this part very amusing, considering everything that's gone on:

"Last, we believe in the power of great relationships, founded on honor, accountability and being responsible – and we value being there for people and their business --- when it matters most
1. Our clients' interests come first. Our experience demonstrates that if we serve our clients with excellence, our success follows.

2. Integrity and honesty are at the core of our business values. We expect our leaders and people to maintain high ethical standards in everything they do, both in their work for Ocean Marketing and in their personal lives."

People can be so darn interesting!
