The most succesful businesses in the industry who have been running for a long time don't do any of that crap. They aren't sending some fat guy to a show, having him shave himself in a speedo and posting the crap on the boards. They don't need to. It's the first sign that you're dealing with a company that doesn't have much going on behind the scenes.
