There was a tutorial?

Perhaps if Clinton had literally screwed Lewinski on the newsroom desk during a broadcast, pausing briefly on the way out to wash his balls in the presenter's glass of water, and as he walks away you can see a swastika tattooed on his left buttock. Perhaps that approaches level of public image mishap we're talking here.

I am sooo marking this analogy down, it's the perfect analogy for Ben-ghazi.

Come to think of it, a lot of this might not be as bad IF BEN WASN'T SO OBSESSED WITH GOONS AND UTTERLY SOCIALLY INEPT AS TO TWEET THE SITE HIMSELF AND NOT SCRUB IT!

My god I regret everything and the things I have seen here. It's that feeling when your hands are really dirty and greasy and you need to desperately wash them, except it's my brain.

If Ben still has a job at CIG after this, it should really inform any lingering croberts zealots as to how hosed things really are.

If Sandi and Chris let him stay as "The Director of Online Strategy, Community Engagement (and Spaceships)" they are tacitly endorsing the claims by The Escapist. Sandi's alleged racism will been seen as validated if she doesn't take this seriously.

They are going to have to create distance between themselves and Ben for their own sake. And they will.

Ben needs to resign and write his Mea Culpa. It will still look horrible but this is Crisis Management 101.

Step 1: Containment.

They have no choice -- none. Derek will beat them bloody with this. They should've already removed themselves- Ben and Sandi both- from the spokespeople roles.

Beyond that, the internal Foundry / CIG Culture is rife with doubts, resentments, unspoken furies and griefs. There are people-- lots of them -- who will demand CIG management takes action. This stain can spread from Ben's Journals to CIG's own brand and stain the resumes of anyone working there.

"Out, out drat spot..."

This crisis came out of nowhere and surely now is in the Top 5 list of Unforced Errors-- which is no easy list to crack. But it demands immediate action and will result in it, as surely as the sun rises...

Oh Ben absolutely should step down, that's correct. The reason I think he probably won't is in your post - Ben and Sandi should have removed themselves from public roles already, yet they haven't. It's entirely possible I've misread the entire situation, of course, and nothing would please me more than for this broken loon to lose his dream job, I'm just not sure I see it happening.

There was one hall with photocopies of the bios for all the Prophecy actors, as well as all the magazine articles about Prophecy... #6746

there was a board of embarassing pictures of Origin employees too. #6747

It was sort of embarassing at the store... It was where I reserved Wc stuff... and she'd find all these pokemon there and go "You caught that one! It's a Diglett!" ad nauseum... I mean, she totally screwed it up, it was Dugtrio... #11340

My theory is that crap tastes good. #15325

I mean, I'm not about to TEST this theory, but doesn't the body take everythign *EXCEPT* the delicious parts out? #15326
