Hey, if you can’t make descent products, you probably are sufficiently inept to also hire bad PR people and fuck up your ad campaigns, too.
Witness the downward spiral!

Why hasn’t Mike Bayard been fired already ?

Is it possible that there were other Belkin employees involved ? Was Bayard acting on his own initiative or was he directed by his superiors ?

Is Belkin just grossly mismanaging the public relations, concering an ethics violation by one rogue employee, or is this symptomatic of a deeper cover-up ?

Not surprising. When you make shit products that you can’t even give away you might as well just spend that money on paying for reputation.

I have owned a few belkin products – I have never owned one I would rate more than one star – no wonder they are paying people – although, from my experiences with them, it does suprise me a little. Their product build is always so cheap, I am suprised that they actually pay cash for this.

Maybe they could put the money into half way decent products? Theres an idea!
