    I mean he obviously was "trolling", but just because he's an idiot. He deserves what he gets.

    I love how he feels that everything is going to be okay. "Thanks for the free PR"

    Like it's good PR or something....
    How the hell did a guy like that even get into PR?

    He didn't know who he was screwing with is the problem. It would have been one thing if the guy had just emailed a couple people who didn't respond. Then when he just brushed off Mike from PA is when it got hilarious. You do...not...***** with PA or people who read PA. Those people are rabid.

    LMAO!

    The guy is a complete tool, and his career in PR (lol) is over, but it's hilarious reading his tweets to people flaming him.

    Can someone explain to me what this whole situation is about? I read some news of this, but wasn't really sure what was happening.

    Customer orders an accessory for a controller. He for whatever reason decides to contact the company marketing the controller for the company. Or maybe the "marketer" responded to the support email, or whatever. Marketing douche proceeds to be extremely douchey. The customer then forwards his email to basically every gaming news outlet there is including Penny Arcade. Penny Arcade posts it front page, then Reddit gets wind of it, along with the rest of the internet. And...profit.

    Reading the story in reverse, I was starting to feel bad for the guy too. Everyone was piling on. Then I get to the first parts and I feel it's completely deserved. That guy went out of his way to completely insult and belittle his customer, while concurrently boasting about his clout, his success, and his dick. He even makes personal insults and continues to do it to other people who call/email on the customer's behalf. PR guy deserved his firing and to never be a PR guy again.

    All those tweets are from a troll account. Notice how it says oceanstretagy.
