it looks like it's costing the company some customers and a lot of money to make amends. i bet someone lost their job over this.

I would have thought they'd be in halibut it turns out their soles were good. Just mullet over.

That'd make anyone crabby.

I don't know how they're going to mako of this better. I think the agency is doomed to flounder.

Wow. That's epic... times 50.

The company says the fish were hand-delivered alive to the offices of media reps and left with six months worth of food. Alas, many didn't survive the wait to be delivered.

So.... they died before they were hand-delivered alive?

Although they seem to have taken all the necessary steps proactively to mitigate this, with donations and apologies, etc.. rather than clunking along like some might have done.
 
2011-12-12 02:31:25 PM
Nice.
 
2011-12-12 02:31:35 PM
Try. Wet. Cod.
 
2011-12-12 02:32:14 PM
I bet they're not with cod. I bet they've gone in the other direction. They're in halibut.

And it probably was the underling of whoever is actually responsible.

They should stop carping on it.

Goldfish can be hardy critters, for something that costs seven cents. I built a pond at my last house, and one of those dudes just would not die. After three years he was like a foot long. And the pond became self sufficient. I didn't feed them for six months, yet all lived. Even had frogs and tadpoles join in.

Also once owned a bass in a tank that we fed goldfish to. Good times.

It could go this way, too:

Advertise with us or swim with the fishes.

Oh wait...this happened in Austria, not Phiily.
 
2011-12-12 02:36:31 PM
They should have sponsored a goldfish-swallowing competition or something.

/probably still could
//fish would be dead eventually, anyway
 
2011-12-12 02:37:15 PM
The whole thing makes me eel. WHERE THE HELL IS THAT KIP ADOTTA VIDEO?
 
2011-12-12 02:38:16 PM
Goldfish are already half dead, anyway.

Gotta be careful with that. If the Game & Fish nazis ever found out they would probably raid your house.
