Terrible timing
Jun. 15th, 2016 03:59 pmSometimes I see ads that are just ridiculously horrible timing, and I think 'doesn't anyone think about these things before they send them out?'
A few weeks ago when there were deadly tornadoes in Oklahoma, the Weather Channel cut away from the tornado coverage briefly to hawk the 20th anniversary edition of the movie Twister. Really guys? You couldn't postpone that a day or two?
Today I got an email ad with the title "Take a bite out of Orlando with this thrilling summer travel special!" Maybe not the most sensitive thing to send out the day after a 2yo is killed in Orlando by an alligator. Just a thought.
