think about it, its just like the government, they no longer tell people that they didnt see aliens, just that it wasnt aliens but something else.

its all about the misdirection.

clear channel is probably just saying that he really paid for it so they dont look like morons who couldnt secure their shizz from h4x0r5]]>Mar 26th 2008 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/skullphones-clear-channel-billboards-not-hax0r3d-actually-pa1d/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/skullphones-clear-channel-billboards-not-hax0r3d-actually-pa1d/
This guy got WAY more advertising than he paid the 1 day fee for. It was viewed as a publicity stunt and posted on most major tech sites!

Kudos to this guy, even if he wasn't selling a damn thing.]]>Mar 26th 2008 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/skullphones-clear-channel-billboards-not-hax0r3d-actually-pa1d/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/skullphones-clear-channel-billboards-not-hax0r3d-actually-pa1d/

Anyone who bought his/her merchandise due to this ad should return or cancel their order.

Also, I realize that this is a blog and not a newspaper, but linking to another blog's article based on "a source" with no affiliation is not good journalism. Attempting to contact Clear Channel and Skullphone would be a positive step. ]]>Mar 26th 2008 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/skullphones-clear-channel-billboards-not-hax0r3d-actually-pa1d/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/skullphones-clear-channel-billboards-not-hax0r3d-actually-pa1d/Mar 26th 2008 4:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/skullphones-clear-channel-billboards-not-hax0r3d-actually-pa1d/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/skullphones-clear-channel-billboards-not-hax0r3d-actually-pa1d/Mar 26th 2008 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/skullphones-clear-channel-billboards-not-hax0r3d-actually-pa1d/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/skullphones-clear-channel-billboards-not-hax0r3d-actually-pa1d/Mar 26th 2008 5:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/skullphones-clear-channel-billboards-not-hax0r3d-actually-pa1d/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/skullphones-clear-channel-billboards-not-hax0r3d-actually-pa1d/Mar 27th 2008 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/skullphones-clear-channel-billboards-not-hax0r3d-actually-pa1d/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/skullphones-clear-channel-billboards-not-hax0r3d-actually-pa1d/Mar 26th 2008 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/skullphones-clear-channel-billboards-not-hax0r3d-actually-pa1d/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/skullphones-clear-channel-billboards-not-hax0r3d-actually-pa1d/

Perhaps I could entice you to investigate a little further and see if we can get an estimate on how much it cost SkullPhone(y) for this backfiring PR-move?

I'm just dying to know how much it cost to try and artificially inflate market perception. There's a clever Mastercard parody that ends with "Getting busted and Plastered all over Engadget: Priceless"
