Dishonesty/Deception in band promotion

[Wolffgang]

I agree with mellowinman, hilarious. Like, if he legitimately believes it will get you more of an audience, that's cute in a deluded sort of way, but I don't think it's pernicious, and certainly not a fireable offence.

 

[Major Softie]

Are you guys seriously outraged by this move? Desperate and goofy? Yes. But if this strikes you as a true moral outrage, I would wager that you have never gigged outside of a Sunday school or a puppet show.

It actually has a legal definition: fraud.

 

[Marial]

Don't worry. The laugh's on your bandmate. His email box will be full of penis pics.

I'm sure the DA is all over this one, Officer Softie.

 

[Yango]

He's an idiot, there's no doubt.

If he's (apart from this) a pretty good guy, and a definite asset to the band, then I'd read him the riot act in no uncertain terms, and if he does anything like it again, then fire him.

 

[AmieLouHat]

I don't see it as a fireable offense, and I'm sure he's just rolling in penis pics now so the joke really is on him. Myself and several other band members have already said we'll let it slide this one time just to show him that it's not going to do anything for the band.

I didn't seek out the posting, he sort of showed it off to everyone in the band like the cat that got the cream.

 

[marko138]

Hilarious. I'm sad I didn't think of it.

 

[Major Softie]

I'm sure the DA is all over this one, Officer Softie.

Hardly, I know. It was a response to those (such as yourself) who appear to see no problem with it.

The options here are not limited to "lock him up" or "there's nothing wrong with it." In fact, they include neither.

 

[Yango]

so am I the only one who thinks this is genius? I mean what could go wrong?

It is funny, that's for sure. But is he a genius? Uh, no.

If he were a genius, he'd have posted as a: millionaire, looks like a model and plays in a rock band, looking for hot women for partying and casual sex, for his ad—thus filling the club with hot gold-digging desperate women, instead of perverted, sweaty, desperate loser guys.

Just kidding. He'd still be an idiot.

I feel sorry for any 5'4" redheads who happen to show up for your show.

Unless they're looking for Mr. Goodbar, in which case it's their lucky night!

 

[boristhespider9]

Can one have (natural) red hair and green eyes?

 

[nojj]

no pix, no chix..............

 

[charliefreak]

Tell Manti Te'o "hey" for me!

 

[RockNRollAl]

You should "out" him on stage...

 

[Major Softie]

I mean what could go wrong?

Well, here's one thing that could go wrong:

While unlikely, it's possible that a woman fitting the description could get assaulted, and, if that happened, he might be held responsible. At the very least he'd be in a very uncomfortable situation answering a lot of police questions, and might even have to get himself a lawyer. And, if any of this were to happen, it's even likely that it would get into the paper as something done by their band.

And that would definitely feel like something which had gone wrong.

 

[P Town]

There is no need to resort to this kind of deception, when all you need to do is name your band something like: "Free Beer 'til Closing" to ensure a good crowd.

 

[Nagrom]

I don't agree with what he did, but at least you can have a fun game of "Spot the Loser" from the stage.

 

[JakeF]

Keep the singer.

Your band will one day be famous. Then plenty of redheads will show up for your show.

For real.

Brilliant.

Though he sometimes sings, it was actually a drummer that did this.
