| Tied Up Dog "Offensive Shoe Ad" Offensive Shoe Ad Involving a Tied Up Dog. I don't know about you all but this is horrible, offensive and a few million other words....but truthfully It would push me a way instead of enticing me. What were they thinking. I wonder what the ad says? Yow would they put the dog into the ad? Well waht ever it is just crap! I wanted to put this in the NEWS thread but I can't if needed please move. Quote:

Peeka Boo I See You! Donating Member | Read the last comment on that page..... Macushla says: January 23rd, 2008 at 10:29 am I called the company directly — they’re in Belgium. They said they ran the ad once three years ago and the reaction was so negative, they have never run it again. They are being flooded by emails and letters from the U.S. She said they do understand the reaction to the ad when it first ran, but don’t understand why they are getting such a response now. The ad should not be running anywhere. They fired the ad agency and no longer have animals in their ads. She did acknowledge that running the ad in the first place was a big mistake.

Thanks, I didn't see that. Well it's great to hear that there was an outcry and that they did listen.

| I just went to it. They're definitely going for the sex sells angle, lol. Better than tied up dogs at least.

| That seriously DOES bother me... I don't take a lot of things too seriously, because sometimes I think a lot of ppl just want to be offended... BUT THIS is wrong... I mean... That beautiful Dobey is "hog tied" which is offensive in itself and degrading... and the poor thing is LAYING IN SNOW!!! That is so terrible... That poor little puppy!!! For someone to make a "joke" out of that kind of stuff which ACTUALLY happens to poor little dogs, thats just sad. I think that they should have more repercussions than just having to "pull the ad"... ERRR! It makes me so mad!!! Besides, this is an Urban Ad??? I can see this up in an urban neighborhood, and those are the places that are known for their neglect of animals, I know it happens everywhere, but many urbanites are uneducated in the proper treatment & keeping of animals... This basically says, hey, this is okay, other ppl would do this... even over a pair of shoes... How RIDICULOUS!!!!

| Well, even if it is an old ad, it still serves them right to be getting emails about it because it is just WRONG and never should have even been allowed to have been printed to begin with. What is wrong w/ people???

| Those ads definitly turn me away from those shoes. These are examples of what NOT to do with ads! The dog one is just sick, why would someone even come up with that?
