'''Paul Christoforo''' is a sole trader representing Ocean Distribution and Ocean Marketing. In 2011, Christoforo was the center in a [[customer service]] situation gone awry over N-Control's [[Avenger Controller|Avenger]] [[Game controller|Controller]] modification for the [[Playstation 3]] and [[Xbox 360]]<ref>{{cite web|title=PcWorld|url=http://www.pcworld.com/article/247060/penny_arcade_publishes_transcripts_of_customer_service_blunder.html|work=PC World}}</ref><ref name="forbes">[http://www.forbes.com/sites/danielnyegriffiths/2011/12/29/from-control-to-ko-paul-christoforo-interviewed/ Forbes - From Flaming to Firefighting - Paul Christoforo interviewed]</ref>. Christoforo and a [[customer]] engaged in [[email]] conversations, resulting in threats and insults from Christoforo on behalf of N-Control. The conversation was posted on [[Penny Arcade (webcomic)|Penny Arcade]], and quickly grew a [[Mobbing|mob]]-like response against the controller and Christoforo<ref>{{cite web|title=Just Wow!|url=http://penny-arcade.com/resources/just-wow1.html|work=[[Penny Arcade (webcomic)|PennyArcade]]}}</ref>.  Even after the initial debacle, he continued to cause problems for his clients <ref>{{cite web|title= Ocean Marketing Attempts To Extort Former Client|url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/114994-Ocean-Marketing-Attempts-To-Extort-Former-Client|date=Dec 30, 2011|work=[[The Escapist (magazine)|The Escapist]]}}</ref>.

==Internet reaction==
The backlash of the customer service incident resulted in Christoforo becoming an [[internet celebrity]], and quickly being [[parody|parodied]] as a [[meme]]<ref>{{cite web|title=PikiGeek|url=http://geek.pikimal.com/2011/12/27/third-party-peripheral-company-picks-fight-with-penny-arcade/|work=PikiGeek}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=QuickMeme|url=http://www.quickmeme.com/Douchebag-Paul-Christoforo/?upcoming|work=QuickMeme}}</ref> with even major companies such as [[Geico]] referring to the meme in tweets.<ref>{{cite web|title=GEICO Tweets Christoforo Meme|url=https://twitter.com/GEICO/statuses/151720116357308416?_escaped_fragment_=/GEICO/statuses/151720116357308416#!/GEICO/statuses/151720116357308416|work=GEICO Car Insurance}}</ref> A big portion of this is due to Christoforo challenging the customer and doubting the powers of the [[Internet]]. The resulting outburst forced Christoforo to be fired from working with N-Control and created a negative feedback for the Avenger controller<ref>{{cite web|title=Kotaku|url=http://kotaku.com/5871479/pr-trolling-ocean-stratagy-out-of-business-avenger-controller-maker-asks-for-forgiveness|work=Kotaku}}</ref>.

==Controversy== 
Ocean Marketing has since been cited for [[Plagiarism|plagiarizing]] articles on their [[blog]], and delivering vague and unsubtantiated data to customers.<ref>{{cite web|title=Jilted gamer teaches vendor price of rudeness|url=http://ingame.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/12/27/9745218-jilted-gamer-teaches-vendor-price-of-rudeness/|work=MSNBC}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Ocean Marketing vs Penny Arcade|url=http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/273375/20111228/ocean-marketing-vs-penny-arcade-epic-pr.htm|work=International Business Times}}</ref>
