The logic he used is "if you're out in the garden and get mud all over your hands you'll go use soap and water. Yet when it comes to poop dry paper is what we use? That's madness." Does he not wash his hands after using the toilet paper?

We're saying it calls that to mind, which makes people think of it when deciding whether or not to buy your product. Which is a dumb move. You're wasting your breath on GoGoGadgetChris. I already made exactly that argument and his response was just "lol its not a rape joke omg you guys" over and over. He doesn't get it and he won't. Probably been on the internet waaaay too goddamned long.

I said I thought it was a stretch and you called me a moron, so I don't know where you're conjuring up this "I TRIED to be cool, calm, serene and collected, but fuckin' GoGoGadgetChris comes in here, foaming at the mouth..." imagery from. And to top it off you made me crave a Guinness on a warm day.

I don't get the confusion. Nobody was saying anybody was condoning or encouraging rape, only that the slogan sounded rapey and brought bad ideas to mind, which makes it a dumb move in marketing. If it had actually been condoning rape, it would've been a suicidal move in marketing. e: Like if my company's logo was a space shuttle or a fireworks explosion and I changed my slogan to "we'll defeat any challenger!" obviously I'm not taking credit or celebrating the Challenger explosion but if that's what it makes people think about, I'd have made a dumb move.

https://blog.vandalog.com/2015/04/how-many-street-artists-can-hyundai-rip-off-in-30-seconds/ Hyundai stole a bunch of street art from actually notable people instead of unknowns or buying art for pennies from desperate out of work art students. While the average joe probably doesn't give a hoot about stolen street art, it appears some of the ripped off artists have agents and lawyers and all that fun stuff so they might be able to raise a fuss loud enough that the hip youths or whatever will be turned off. Aw who am I kidding.

But that's exactly the word that occurred to many people who say the message recalls alcohol's troublesome connection to sexual assaults. That didn't take long. Somebody in marketing is clearing out their desk right now.

Yea, but you'd think at that level of marketing, someone at some point would have stopped it before it went to print. Then again, if that was a thing that happened often in marketing, we wouldn't have this thread. v  v

Actually firing some easily replaceable peon would at least make it look more substantial, and if they got caught in a lie it'd look worse. I'm sure an apology will be fine here but it's not like a company shitcanning some nobody to save face is a novel concept.
