Sorry off topic, but: I can't believe that was almost 3 years?! ago already. Good choice though. I can't think of a better recent example. The juxtaposition of the Sony and Xbox 2013 conferences is close. Just re-watched them recently and it was worse than I remember. Felt a little bad for Phillip as he spoke to an audience that audibly, was wildly unimpressed with what they heard. Including the "Xbox sucks!" guy breaking the silence, which I never caught back in the day. 2013. The golden age of Subway. Right before we found out their spokesman was a child molester selling poison bread.

That was a thing? huh, I never noticed that either.
I find it hard to feel sorry for Philly boy though. Microsoft really did screw the pooch with that E3 show, I doubt there will ever be a console reveal handled that badly again.

Yeah. It was cringy, but kinda funny. If you listen for it, it's not too difficult to hear.

Poison bread?

I'm exaggerating a bit, but it was a mild scandal. I remember Jon Stewart going off about how the media was giving the story little to no coverage when they did a story about it on The Daily Show. A fair amount of people have never heard about it.
