Erm... I don't really think micro$oft got owned. I would more say that the people of that street got owned lol.
-gaz
haha
Yeah, I'd say that M$ owned, and the citizens got owned.
Heh heh, imagine the responses of both M$ and the locals... five bucks says that guy got fired, heh heh... (no, not a real bet :p )
These comapnies are increasingly farming out their ****ed up viral marketing campaigns (lest not we forget Boston) to third party companies, who in turn probably hire independent contractors to protect thier own asses. I'm sure companies like M$ put a good distance (on paper) between themselves and the campaign to avoid legal troubles. Scumbags. I wonder how that pricey sound system would have looked with a couple of dozen raw eggs thrown into it from my window, or a fine tuning from my lead filled BeCool Stick I keep by the door.
A "lead filled BeCool Stick"...
I don't want to be around when Crimson decides to... "Coolify" people with it.
:) :)
The thing about viral marketing..is that you can't force it. Its reaallllly a risky marketing strategy.
Great product, horrible marketing ideas. You should see their TV commercials :D. It was probably some loon with the idea that he could grab M$'s attention, and in stead, ****ed it all up.
