This is, chortles aside, a really useful exercise. I work with brands who would all love to be in these kinds of spaces, ‘talking the language’ of social media blah blah blah – but as soon as you try to make it clear that it involves something less than total control, they back off. And with good reason. Unless you’re the kind of company that might appeal to your customers by allowing criticism, there’s just no way to get into the social space (for want of less nauseating phrase) without taking the risk that your name might appear next to the words ANAL CUNT IS GOOD.

I’d like to know what Skittles make of it too, although I can hazard a guess.
