Reaping the Whirlwind: Ad Agency sues a blogger
Read this and then sit back and watch what happens. I suspect that Warren Kremer Paino Advertising LLC has no idea of the incredible dumbness of what it's just done, but will find out pretty quickly.
The blogger in question, Lance Dutson, has had an ongoing campaign to expose what he believes is incompetence on the part of the Maine Tourist Board and its advertising contractor. Exhibit A is a print ad that ran with a phone sex number instead of the correct agency phone number. For pointing out this and other faux pas, he's been slapped with a multi-million dollar lawsuit alleging libel, copyright infringement, and defamation.
Stay tuned...this will be page one in the blogosphere for a good while.
