To pay homage to the Boston Aqua Teen scare, the inevitable Smiling Friends Movie should be promoted by flyers warning people not to go to school tomorrow

“It’s like a nut you can play with outside” How the f*** did that glorious line escape from the drawing board without anyone questioning it

offering free gas at ONE gas station in LONDON is possibly the most insane thing i’ve ever seen a company do

27:27 let’s be honest, despite the whole thing being fake they’re not wrong about EA being the devil.

City of Boston: "I'm sorry Cartoon Network, but a few of our citizens baselessly assumed your Light Brites of cartoon characters shaped like Atari graphics were bombs rather than the obvious decorative light-up display advertising pieces they actually were and this lead to a huge chain of bad decisions on the part of many, many people which cost us a lot of money and so this is all clearly your fault for trying to scare us with fake bomb threats or something I guess so cover our costs or go to jail."

The aqua teen one is so fitting. The Mooninites are canonically lame, but think they are evil incarnate super geniuses. At one time they send out a beeping square that looks lame like usual but nukes everything. People thought this was some sinister plot but it was stupid lights, it looked lame but it nuked CN.

A whole town gassing up cool led light signs into thinking theyre bombs, and then using that as grounds to sue the people who put up the signs.

The fact that EA thought Christians considered Dante's Inferno biblical canon still makes me chuckle to this day

the biggest publicity stunt failure i know of would probably be the "Pepsi Number Fever" incident in the phillipines. a mistake in a sweepstakes event to win cash prizes based on a number on pepsi brand bottle caps lead to protests, death threats, riots, and 2 bombing attacks that killed 5 people.

Shouts out to all Acclaim who’s dying gasps as a company were trying one of these every game they released until bankruptcy
