Phorm would love for this to be characterised as an anti-global, dressed up as beagles, nutter fringe.

Outwardly there is no good reason for them to be doing this, so be careful. They have something up their sleeves.

I'm all for getting this wider coverage, but not like this.
I think I'll agree with those sentiments. Also, this could be one of the last acts of desperation they have to offer in the PR arena. It might just be so that the only things left up their sleeves are their arms (with a bit of luck). And still, in the PR game, they are really their own worst enemy with all the gaffes and failed cover-ups in the wake of their campaign, this stunt may also prove as beneficial to the cause as every other step they have taken.

But of course, nobody died from being cautious - not to my knowledge anyway. And Richard Clayton doesn't seem one to be easily out foxed, I hope that is also the case for him on the fly in public.
