Enjoy the hubbub. Here the ad that has the blurb creepy goth and bad influence. And yes I think it was a poor advertisement call. Not as bad as Cartoon Networks bomb scare in Boston ( Read more... )

There was nothing wrong with Cartoon Network's advertising. People in Boston are just so fucking dumb, it's a wonder they can feed themselves.

And anyone offended by this ad needs a boot in the ass.

There's a reason why advertising executives have no respect for the intelligence of the consumer; it's because consumers are morons and deserve to be treated with contempt.

Since your stating that as a generalization I'll let it slide and not argue against it.

Oh my people are so misunderstood. :) Industrial and goth music are just so much better than anything out there. Sorry if I can't handle Fergie, Justin, Green Day or Linkin Park. We're even slandered here in Austin and they're supposed to be all weird and tolerant and shite. ;)

it doesn't take much to be missunderstood these days.

I giggled.. Then again, it is really difficult to offend me with advertising. Not to say that I am goth in any way shape or form, but there are way too many people out there with too thin skin these days. Sure, it may be in bad taste, but if people get offended for being called "dark" when that is the persona that they are displaying..........

umm.. yah..

As for Boston, it was an LED sign.. This country is preaching fear a bit too much when people take an LED sign and go nutzo over it.
