EDIT: They removed my name. Such an odd campaign! Who cares about my opinion on shoes? Di naman ako fashionista (Magaling lang magdala – LOL!).

Spamming Facebook walls is one thing. But mentioning your name to quote you on a manufactured opinion is just the worst thing you can ever do. Grabe, bastos!

Grabe naman yan!

D*mn! This is not funny! Why would they assume such things? I see this photo every day in my FB news feed. Bad! Very bad!

i think it’s a pathetic form of marketing/advertising.
who would not be irked about it?!

Oh wow. They didn’t even ask permission to use your name. Grabe ha!

More & more I see pathetic, half-baked and downright abusive attempts at social-media marketing on Facebook & Twitter. Disgusting!

were you tagged in their official page? if it is, that’s a huge stupid move from their social media guy.

Putting words in your mouth, eh? I wonder who came up with that crazy Facebook campaign. I agree: to tag you in a post or image is one thing, but to actually use your name and supposedly quoting you about their product is another thing entirely.

They removed the name, but did they apologize? If they apologized, did they do it publicly?
