It is amazing how it could get last so many people. I can only think that everyone thought it was such an obvious objection that someone else he already made it and was ignored. The "someone will do it" mentality.

I think you are right, no one said anything because someone was afraid of losing their job and everyone thought someone would say something, they just didn't want to be the one doing it.

Alot like people driving past an accident.

I doubt the decision chain responsible for this gaff will ever be revealed.
But I don't find it too surprising, given the volume of advertising copy produced on a daily basis, that something like this would be ultimately produced.
It is unlikely that anything other than multiple dolts and yes-men should be credited with corporate stupidity like this, but.

It is also possible, that in a commercial world where the worst possible sin is to have your advertising ignored, that this was intentional. I know I would never have otherwise been remotely conscious of Krispy Kremes in the UK.

It got our attention, didn't it?
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh

That is why I am not sure this is unintentional. It seems like as big a company someone knew. Someone or a few people should lose their jobs over this regardless.

Agreed, and if it was intentional, I'm even more sure that the decisions and deciders will never be revealed.
Similarly, I don't expect mass firings at the top....Haven't seen them of the 2008 bankers & traders. Elites gonna elite.

I have inadvertently started another thread on this somewhere. I hadn't spotted this one at the time.

I'm not sure how Krispy Kreme can make up for this one.

There's no way they can just sugar coat it.










Sorry.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
