but it got you mentioning the product on the list...
In the UK we had a spate of ads like this a few years ago, based on the fact
that there is no such thing as bad publicity. The beer company gets its
coverage whatever, even if people are having a go. However, note what I just
wrote: 'beer company' I didn't give them the publicity they were looking
for.
So you could have written:
>>>Speaking of which, have you guys seen a commercial of the "first person"
profile...etc etc <<<
which would have got your point over about being pissed at them, but without
giving them the publicity.
Best Cheers
