Warner Brothers learns new tricks on 'teh intarweb'
Warner Brothers isn't content with faking (badly) fan responses on weblogs. They have moved on to (badly) concocting entire online conversations in order to schill their product, polluting online messagebaords with their brand of inept, boorish self-interest.
No-one at Warner Brothers central quite understands 'teh intarweb' yet. What's new?

All companies do that. Not just online, but in public too. There was a great report on 60 minutes about that over the summer. 60 minutes, by the way, rules.

Nah. THat genius was a poli-sci major who lied about failing to graduate during the interview at a corporate label that he got by being drunk enough to sleep with the 'fat chick' friend of the 'hot chick' that he and his buddies met at the opening of a fancy yuppy bar in downtown L.A.SSRigsbyGargesA.L. wrote:Was that genius SSerendipty????????After Ashley Simpson half-time show got booed off-stage, some genius got the idea that gives us this, hilarious example:
By some strange quirk of fate, he forgot not to answer his phone when she called the next day, inviting him to an exclusive record release party by some forgettable flavour of the month family-friendly skank-ho pop star, where he managed to score coke for said fat chick's boss, and later in the evening, cover for him when his wife showed up during a rather awkward moment involving the aforementioned hot chick's backside and several neatly drawn lines of white powder thereupon.
During the interview, he incidentally mentioned that he had an AOL account, and was promptly made director of online promotions and research, which mainly involved avoiding the fact chick's calls, chatting with the hot chick who had suddenly taken an interest in him, and telling the five interns assigned to him to make coffee or take his new leased Beemer for another detail and polish, as well as cruising teenage discussion forums, and cut and pasting the same message into each.

No, but I did see a segment about it once on 60 minutes. It looked very interesting.aurelialuz wrote:ever seen "the insider"?SSRigsbyGargesA.L. wrote:60 minutes, by the way, rules.
