James Cameron didn't think O.J. would be believable as a killer, guess O.J. had the last laugh there.

Reading these comments makes me realize how little I actually understood about the game.

How many takes did it take for you guys to do this scene (Clifton Bowles original, "Bing it") with a straight face?

Their responses make no fucking sense from a PR standpoint. Ashley Madison doesn't make money off of public opinion. The company doesn't give a fuck if people believe that they're a good employer. Why would they?

Suppose someone wants to cheat on their spouse. Do you think they consider: "Hmm, I don't think Ashley Madison treats their employees that well, I better not use the site."

Or do people think that this kind of press helps expand market share? "I never thought about cheating on my spouse before, but Ashley Madison seems so cool, maybe I should consider cheating!"

Fucking ridiculous. You have people complaining that the answers are "perfectly crafted" from a PR standpoint when they make no fucking sense from a PR standpoint. The only answers that would make sense from a PR standpoint have to do with privacy and security, but OP parroted the same shit you'd probably find on their website and made it clear that she doesn't know the two people most responsible for those areas. And people think this AMA is about damage control? Why not pretend to be a former IT person? Or claim to know the CTO? Or have any insight into security at all?

OP also confused "bots" with "cam girls," and went ahead and said fucking half the girls on the site are cam girls. One of OP's first answers also makes clear that it's a sea of dicks, jokingly saying that a 5000-1 male-female ratio probably wasn't that far off. And of course OP said flatly that she'd never consider using a paid site like Ashley Madison when free alternatives exist.

OP's answers are all that Ashley Madison is a good place to work, but not a good place to find a real woman. Does that seem like PR?

Reminds me of the Chris Rock wealthy/rich bit.
