They often say there's no such thing as bad publicity. I couldn't agree more. The thing that these brands have to realize is that bad press gives me that chance to turn a pissed off customer into a loyal lifelong promoter of their product. If they go above and beyond then they will be written about in that way. So, lack of control actually becomes a benefit. I guess it's all how you look at things. Rich,
