I'm not sure what they're actually risking here, besides a stern talking-to by a security guard, and maybe some sour looks from PayPal execs. Does that take brass balls, really? [Now if the block of ice mysteriously slid out onto the stage during the keynote....]
I personally have been soured on the idea of "stunt" marketing since businesses started having the "moxy" to pay someone to tattoo the company logo on their head, or to run a "shockingly" racy or edgy ad during the superbowl. Etc..
This isn't among the worst by a long shot, of course, but... well, it's a big block of ice used to make a bad pun about an actually fairly nuanced topic, and doing stunts for press does set them in a fairly dubious crowd.
Kudos to WePay if it does work out for the better, but I hope we don't see more of these.
