Confirmed social justice warrior triggeredIt think it's a rather funny advertisement, but then again, I am made of sterner stuff.
What's so funny about it? I think it's a shitty billboard. It's not offensive to me, it just sucks. It's not clever, it's not funny, it's terrible marketing.
Bad advertising does trigger me, yes. Again, I'm not offended by the billboard, I just think it's bad advertising. (I do advertising. And this ad sucks.)
I think it was pretty damned effective, look at all then additional FREE TV time and social media discussion it generated. Also people will support the store just to piss off the protesters.
Eh, you could say that, I guess. There is a trend in marketing to deliberately run ads that are highly controversial just to get the news outlets talking about you. It works on that level, but you also risk damaging your brand.
