Strap yourself in, you’re about to witness the most outlandlish PR blunder in video gaming history. And trust me, there have been many…

Starting earlier this morning with a post on Penny Arcade, co-founder Mike “Gabe” Krahulik brought to light a series of emails between Dave, a customer politely inquiring about the status of his Avenger PlayStation 3 controller order, and Paul Christoforo of Ocean Marketing, the PR lead for the product.

I’m going to repost the emails in their entirety, then we’ll continue much, much further down the rabbit hole afterward. There’s even a parody video thrown in on the second page…

Send that over to Engadget you look like a complete moron swearing and sending your customer service complaints to a magazine as if they will post it or even pay attention do you think you’re the first or the last what are they going to do demand us to tell you were your shipment is or ask for a refund on your behalf

Guy's 38 and writes like a 17 y/o with his huge run-on sentences.

Periods. Commas. It isn't rocket science.

I was reading about that last night. He got fired.

Read the comments on amazon. People are bomb shelling them.

Sadly, he'll still make bank off interview & book offers

Book offers?

Not likely, Homeslice. His unprofessional attitude cost his company a huge client and cost him his job. Because his real name was used, now this event will be the first thing to pop up if a potential employer googles him. My guess is that he never works again.
