Ocean Marketing throws juvenile PR tantrum

There is good PR, there is bad PR, then there is this. Ocean Marketing, a producer of several third party peripherals, have managed to make a fool of themselves in what may be one of the most childish and juvenile PR stunts ever. What happened is a customer known as Dave pre-ordered a couple PS3 controllers to come by December 17, but his order never made it in time. He sent a complaint to Ocean Marketing about it via email, but public relations worker Paul Christoforo only gave him trouble. He basically told him to wait and deal with it like a “big boy”. Later he said that the controllers weren’t guaranteed to come by Christmas anyways despite the fact that Dave paid for them to come by then. At this point Dave is extremely frustrated and threatens to publicize the unprofessional emails Christforo made. Christforo then replies with unrivaled professionalism and maturity.
