Seems news of Dave Carroll’s YouTube hit has finally floated across the Atlantic and this morning a number of UK news outlets have been picking it up:
- Channel 4 >> United Airlines hit by complaint song
- Telegraph >> Musician behind anti-airline hit video ‘United Breaks Guitars’ pledges more songs
- Guardian >> Singer gets his revenge on United Airlines and soars to fame
- BBC >> Singer’s airline tune takes off
What’s new? Well, this:
[United] has seen its share price plunge by 10%, wiping $180m off the company’s value. (via BBC)
Correlation or causation? Hard to tell but the PR disaster for United keeps rolling on.
If you like the pain, then check out an article by Daniel Finkelstein of the Times which I came across via Will Sturgeon. Finkelstein has “dug out some other classic examples of social media revenge from the archives.” Funny stuff.
Number of views now stand at over 3,650,000 and counting.
