I also find the image of companies using Martin Luther King's image to advertise and make money pretty distasteful because it erases his history and message and replaces it with advertising and capitalism
Definitely, yeah. But there's the baseline offensive there always is when Capitalism appropriates its critics and criticisms and turns them into commodities to further profit from, and then there's... well, this.
Like, this is an onion of bad choices. There's layers to this shit.
Op you should send this to news sites to create a pain in the ass for snackcrate because some companies don't change until their behaviour is bought into the spotlight
You're implying that you would have been a customer. Maybe they lose some current customers off such tactics but if their stuff is being reposted everywhere a lot more people are s hearing about the existence of the service who have never heard of it before, and some of those will be new customers. Obviously many will find it distasteful, but most weren't customers in the first place.
Meh. Being a wrestling fan in the late 90s/early 2000s and watching WCW fall apart disabused me of the notion that there is no such thing as bad publicity.
I'm in the US. We don't get most of the Cadbury stuff here, and what we do get (mostly Creme Eggs and Mini Eggs, sometimes Dairy Milk bars) is made by Hershey under license so it's kinda crap.
Unless, of course, you get it from an importer like World Market or these guys. Though I don't think I'll be buying from these guys in the future.
Holy shit. I used to work for this company. The CEO is the definition of Florida Man and treats his employees like shit. I guarantee he got high and put this together himself. Everyone should avoid giving them money (their competitors are better anyway).
I'd love to hear more about those competitors. I kinda like the idea of getting boxes of snacks from other countries delivered, but fuck if I'm going to give these guys any money now.
It's not even hard to do that. But having this idea, printing it in letters, completing it... How did they not have a keyboard burning under their fingers?
