Time Warner Really Needs to Hire a PR Guy

Really, Time Warner? Do I need to take you, and sit you in a corner? Because it’s clear to me that you just can’t right any of your wrongs. This time, a boneheaded exec at Warner Music Norway decided to lash out against an 18-year-old Norwegian student, calling him (and I quote the translation) a “stupid brat.”

A young blogger, identified only as Evan, was reportedly upset about his inability to download the new Dave Matthews Band album on iTunes. However, he was quick to identify that his problem wasn’t present for those in the United States. So, like any self-respecting member of the Internet, he Tweeted his concern, by stating (again, this is an approximate translation), “'I’m pissed! iTunes is only allowing downloads of the new Dave Matthews Band album if you live in the US! And they complain about pirating.”

Without delay, Warner Music Norway’s Terje Pedersen was there to solve the problem with some quick, and effective customer service. Pedersen, responding in the standard tweet format, stated, “Then I suggest you steal it and write about the process in your stupid brat blog. We don't want you to get upset.” Pedersen is of course, referring to Evan’s blog.

Wow, well played Pedersen. Clearly the concept of acting your age is lost on you.
