World's Worst PR Guy Gives His Side 576
First time accepted submitter Narnie writes "Follow up to Tuesday's story of a PR rep's lack of professionalism. Kyle Orland provides a follow up interview with Paul Christoforo after a simple email chain escalated into internet infamy. N-Control official response to Paul Chrostoforo's actions can be found here. Kotaku.com even has a whole section devoted to covering the entire ordeal. I for one found myself caught following the news releases and in awe of the combined load forced on penny-arcade's servers from Slashdot, Reddit, Digg, Kotaku, and other news sites covering the story."

Please tell us of all the articles you don't want to read anymore by telling us about them on every article you didn't read to comment on their /. stubs. Do you have a website where like-minded people can find out about all the stories you don't care about so we can not care about them either?

>>He still isn't sorry for what happened, he is "sorry" because someone famous caught him.
Right. He's like a bully who is "sorry" after some kid he was picking on turns out to be a jiu-jitsu black belt, and chokes him unconscious.
Sorry. Replace 'like' with 'is'. He IS a bully shedding alligator tears after being exposed for who he really is.
To me, the hilariously painful bit of the story was the bully's poor command of the English language. TFA has a typo, his company is not "Ocean Marketing". It's "Ocean Marketting". ;) Two t's - at least that's how he he codified it on Twitter.
I honestly love it when the Internet does this kind of stuff. I remember the great exposés back in the day over how hard it was to cancel AOL and so forth.

I'm REALLY liking the mindset of the new PR guy for N-Control.
I'm just glad I didn't have a soda to my mouth.
Nice, blunt honesty in the situation with a schadenfreude-funny quote goes a long way. Kudos Moisés!

I dunno, maybe they'll name a psychological disorder after the guy.
Christoforo's Syndrome - a psychological disorder characterized by pathological lying, shallow affect, a noted lack of empathy and consistent abusive behavior. It is distinguished from Antisocial Personality Disorder chiefly by poor spelling and grammar.

[...] Hell, the guy still isn't sorry for how he threated customers, he is sorry for the fact he got caught. [...]
That has to be the best typo and/or Freudian slip I've seen in a while!
