Jeremy didn't do anything wrong.

The sponsor came in and dropped his number and email address totally jacking Jeremy's shit. Totally unprofessional, and disrespectful. I respect the fact that he paid to advertise, but you can't use business tactics like that in the real world, and you shouldn't do it on the internet either.
Tactics like these are used in the real world constantly.
Now it might unethical, but it happens a lot.
