Though I work for the company, there are also many things that I do not agree with which I will not elaborate as they are pretty minor. It’s common to associate kids with monkeys as they tend to behave like one when it’s playtime and such - and monkeys belong in the jungle. The idea of the hoodie was just for kids in general - regardless of their ethnicity. To me, I strongly think it was just a communication breakdown. One of the staff talked about it and partially agrees with the public reaction. If you were in her shoes, what would you do? Do you think the public is being too sensitive? The mother of the boy recently spoke out and she thinks the public is making a big deal out of nothing. I think it’s because the ad did not have much of an impact in foreign countries as it did in America. Have you talked about the controversial ad with your coworkers? I don’t really care what people think of the ad really. Have you experienced anything like that since the controversy?
