Ombudsman reader Sam pointed me to an interesting post that recently went up on Insert Credit:
Our Final Fantasy 12 trailer has been removed. Why? Tim received this message from *name withheld* at Squenix:
"Please remove the movie from your sight as soon as possible. Otherwise, we Square Enix will proceed to the legal step."
Note: The original post had the name of the PR person.
Insert Credit complied with the request, which is obviously the right course of action here. But they also started a forum thread devoted to Photoshopped images that make fun of the Square/Enix representative's admittedly shaky English.
Sam asked me whether I though it was "good business for a 'journalistic' 'source' to openly mock a PR agent with a shaky grasp of English?" Frankly I'm wholly undecided on the issue. I think it's a tad insensitive, but I think it's pretty funny at the same time. So I'll open the issue up to the floor. Post your thoughts using the link below. Let's get some conversation going here.
Here's wishing a happy Thanksgiving to all my U.S. readers.
