Default Takes the biscuit or advertising cheap PR stunt?

Since social media is in full swing we are now seeing numerous articles about how people are becoming creative in its use to complain about everyday things or are PR gurus using it as a way to advertise their brand or product.

Reading the UK daily rags online is something I do in my spare time sometimes for a laugh or to get a glimpse of what is going on in the UK or just admiring scantily clad ladies photos in certain trashy or revealing articles.

This morning I came across this one as an example and you decide if its a genuine complaint or PR stunt?

Since the original message was on Facebook it is very simple to figure out if the person who posted it is real. But beyond that, his message was clearly in jest.
