Expert  1951    |  Subject: RE: Pearl Izumi ad, have they finally gone too far.Originally posted by BrianRunsPhilly Originally posted by Kido I find that 99% of all advertising either makes no sense to me or is just stupid. But I don't get worked up about it, it's just an ad. I think some of the SPCA ads are in poor taste too. I mean, who wants to look at Sarah McLachan? I barely pay mind to advertisements in the first place. I would have no clue what was implied if I saw the ad and didn't read this thread. My mind would have registered "man with hands on dog laying down" in the 0.2 seconds my eyes swept over the page page. After being told what it implied. I still don't care that much. I can't say I "like" the ad but bigger things to worry about. Probable in poor taste, but I care about it as much as any advertising, witch is next to nothing. What always bothers me is that people get paid for creating dumb ads.. I always feel like I could do a better job... (but in reality I know I couldn't) |

Originally posted by Left Brain Lisa - I'm not sure what the sarcastic font comment that you added in an edit is supposed to mean, like I said, it appears to be a pretty simple dumb idea for an ad...."our shoes can outrun a dog". Fancy hair man.. you're a flamer.. admit it.. you are... for personal gain.. |

Extreme Veteran 1234 West Michigan | Subject: RE: Pearl Izumi ad, have they finally gone too far. I read all the comments before checking out the link. All along I thought it was a commercial where you would watch the guy giving CPR... In my mind I was thinking that wouldn't seem too over the top, mainly because I knew it was just a commercial not a youtbue video. However once I saw it was just a print ad, I had the same opinion as a previous poster, meaning I don't think I would have even given a few seconds to ponder the message... It's just a fact of life in our society people are sensitive to bad things happening to animals and children....Generalization I know but it's not far off.. As for the comment on the kitten launcher, that was just plain funny.... |

Champion 5312 Calgary | Subject: RE: Pearl Izumi ad, have they finally gone too far. I guess in the end it is a Rough Joke. I just finished Tina Fey's book, great audiobook. I think it is the kinda joke that if you laugh at you are like, "man, I'm an a$$" and if you don't laugh at you are like "everyone else is an a$$". She has a really Rough Joke in her book. Man. Great audiobook though. |

Great audiobook though. I love Tina Fey. I listened to her audio book on a long car trip this summer. I'm watching her 30 Rock episodes on Netflix now and they are hilarious. |

Here is an update to the story: http://www.nbcnews.com/business/running-shoemaker-doghouse-after-dead-dog-ad-8C11080335 In the wake of the firestorm, the company pulled the ad and posted an apology on its Facebook page. |
