Except that bad PR is good PR. Trump proves this daily. Terry A Davis proved this in the context of tech (he coined the term "glowie" in its original racially charged usage in addition to temple OS). If Chris Chan ever learned to code to make the Sonichu game of their dreams, I'm sure that there would be a minor bidding war on their "talent"
