More SJW bullcrap.

I swear these people will be the next book burners.

Nope, I think this an appropriate place where advertising went beyond the boundaries of public taste.

It is a tv show, where else should they advertise?

 

People need to get over it.

[red321]

I can understand why that wouldn't go over too well.

i think this is well said:

 

"On the television program, which explains this is the notion of an America controlled by Hitler, you get that context," New York Regional Director Evan Bernstein told FOX11. "On the train, seeing the American flag paired with a Nazi symbol is viscerally offensive because there is no context as to what it means."

You can advertise a show without turning the bus into a Nazi/US flag.

 

I fully plan on watching this show, I'm a huge fan of the book...and I find it only somewhat eerie that we have a candidate running for president who certainly toes the line...but that advertising is a tad bit overboard.

[Tank]

no, it's no better.

[mtangelsfan]

a lot of people are way too sensitive.

 

So many real life things to be concerned about, this isn't one of them.

 

No wonder we are raising a nation of wussies.

I'd love to know how many people complained to Amazon or is it just a knee jerk reaction by Amazon to pull it because a few people posed the question of, "is this right or wrong?"

[TobiasFunke]

Because really, Amazon is partially to blame for this whole thing by not going to bat for what they thought was a great ad campaign.

So here's where we dump the SJW stuff?  Here's another one:

 

https://www.yahoo.com/politics/hillary-clinton-says-it-was-a-poor-choice-of-190030383.html

 

Clinton promises never to say ‘illegal immigrants’ again

 

Clinton used the term at a campaign event in New Hampshire earlier this month when she was asked her thoughts on securing the border with Mexico to prevent undocumented immigrants from coming over. She responded by referring to her support for a border fence as a member of the U.S. Senate from January 2001 until early 2009.

 

“Look, I voted numerous times when I was a senator to spend money to build a barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in. And I do think you have to control your borders,” Clinton said.

 

Clinton’s comments drew criticism from pro-immigration advocates who prefer the term “undocumented immigrants.” She was asked about the phrase in the Facebook chat on Tuesday by Jose Antonio Vargas, an activist whose group is mounting a campaign called “#WordsMatter” to get presidential candidates to promise not to use the phrase “illegal immigrants.”

[TobiasFunke]

The first thing I'm doing if I'm voted president is outlawing hashtags. First off anyone that says "hashtag" and not "pound symbol" is getting a beating by my anti-fascist fascist gestapo, and if you use a hashtag then you're getting thrown in a North East Alaskan gulag. #angrytobias

Poor taste but good PR. I'm not a rule follower but in advertising you really shouldn't use swastikas, racial slurs, etc. to sell a product. 

[ABC]

But it's cool for Calvin Klein to have 50 ft billboards depicting an orgy?

 

 

You're seriously complaining about this?

One could argue that you're being way too sensitive about this particular case. I'm not a fan of SJWs or censorship, but this kinda makes sense. There are more serious issues of censorship and possible infringement of the first amendment to be concerned about.

You started this thread.  I wouldn't even have heard of this if it weren't for this thread.

[Spirit]

Yeah!  Stand up, libs!  Don't take this bs from MT!  

[Adam]

I feel like a normal non pussified human being would say "ummm what's that?" Then look it up and say "why the **** is Amazon making shows?" Then go back to Fail videos on their phone

[Spirit]

Soooo ... you're a racist. 

[mtangelsfan]

libs are funny

[red321]

I was trying to remember the pilot and what flag was used.

 

 

 

So it would appear even they took a double take when originally putting the advertising together and thought...hmmm....maybe we should think twice about this. 

[Angelsjunky]

I think if I was old and Jewish that would probably offend me.

But there's not many old Jewish people in NY, so removing the ad is probably not necessary.

 

LOL. That might be a bit too subtle for some.

[Glen]

I can't remember the last time anything offended me.

[Spirit]

I can't remember the last time anything offended me.

 

I offended you not too long ago.  I'm offended you don't remember.
