Ocean Marketing FAIL

Here, read the context first: http://penny-arcade..../just-wow1.html

:blink:Ho-ly ****. That was incredible. That can't be real, surely? I can't believe a 38 year old would have such poor PR skills, and poor spelling and grammar to go with it!</p>

EDIT:Ooh, so the bbcode is completely broke? Thank god I know some HTML...

I find it a bit ironic thought that Gabe who says he was bullied as a kid has turned into one himself - only he does it online.

I think you're misinterpreting what irony means in this case. Hell, in the next post Gabe himself says:

Someday every bully meets and even bigger bully and maybe that?s me in this case.

Someone who was bullied as a kid turning into a bully himself? That's not ironic - it's the most predictable thing in the world.

I wouldn't really know, I was bullied as a kid until I happened to grow a head taller than those that were on my ass all the time yet I never turned into one of them. I find it sad that Gabe has, considering his text seems to take a "bullying is bad" attitude - at least at start. Hence the irony.

And before anyone even gets the idea, I still think the ocean marketing guy was a total no life douche. On the other hand I would've just shrugged my shoulders and ignored the guy, but that's just me.

Funny thing is, a lot of people are bullies without realizing it themselves.
