Unilever pulls ad comparing coming out as gay to shooting your parent in the heart
http://www.salon.com/2013/09/03/unilever_pulls_ad_comparing_coming_out_as_gay_to_shooting_your_parent_in_the_heart/Riiiight. Nobody at Unilever saw this or signed off on it. RIIIIIIIGHT!
"The ad features a bullet with the words, “Uhh, dad I’m gay,” heading toward a heart made of china. The tag line reads, “You need a strong heart today.”
After withdrawing the ad suggesting that being gay would break your parent’s heart, Unilever quickly tried to distance itself from the Johannesburg-based agency that developed it.
“This advert was prepared by an external agency in South Africa and was not approved by anyone at Unilever,” the company said in a statement."
