Is this what Fred Wilson had in mind with his large financial investment in Zynga?
“Hey, I’ve got a great idea. Let’s advertise our product by littering all over the public’s property in Manhattan. But, there’s a catch…the litter will have our name on it! Better yet, glue that shit down, so it can not be removed. Permanent litter with our name on it=permanent advertising!”
Here’s what I think of that idea. I’d like it if you cleaned it up. And I’m not the only one. Fellow residents of New York City are not pleased.
The blogger behind East Village Feed reached out to Zynga’s CEO and PR representative and has yet to hear back.
Please help keep your city clean. Give a Hoot, Don’t Pollute.
This should get cleaned up soon. God knows the company can afford to. Which makes it all the more galling they resorted to shitting all over public property. As a fellow activist likes to say, this won’t end.
UPDATES:
- Zynga, the web-polluting company
- No comment from Brew Media Relations on clients illegal and dangerous littering campaign
- Zyngas Agency To Clean Up Mafia Wars
- Heavy penalty expected for Zynga Vandals
