Power to the People: Ad Firm’s Fake Wikipedia Entry Has Been Deleted

Thanks, Constantin, for the heads up.

We've only read speculation to this point. Some think that it's a telecom client. Whoever it is, we suggest they withhold payment.Of course, some silly PR and ad firms have actually done such campaigns simply to promote themselves -- witness The Great Pointed Archer fiasco.

The fact is that it should never gotten to this point. That's the sad thing the marketing firm doesn't seem to get.Urgh.
