Not at all. I believe in freedom of speech. If these idiots want to destroy their reputation and their business..........well, so be it.

Good Colpy.

For that, I give you an emphatic Levant thumbs up.

Yeah....I really like Ezra.

I realize he is occasionally over the top, he misses stuff, he can be rude and ignorant, but all in all.....

Just sending a compliment of your logical consistency and free speechin. We can discuss his other issues in a SunTV thread or something..

Love his tie. Kinda symbolizes his style of showmanship. His jacket is indicative of his content, his smirk: his smugness and arrogance.

Actually, I would think that the knew there would be an uproar, that's the whole point.

Bingo!

Yes, and it only took a year and one New York blogger to do it.

If these ads have been out for a year, presumably someone locally would have seen it. Yet it took some blogger from New York to say something about it before some locals got so upset that they vandalized the store front. I assuming the vandals were local and didn't fly in from New York to deface the property with spraypaint. So I guess it wasn't offensive for the first 365 days of the advertising campaign, but it is now?

Personally, I find the ad incredibly stupid.

And I'm willing to bet some ad agency rep is looking at all the fuss and thinking "finally!".

She isn't even the focus of the ad. He is. Her hair looks like ****. It's looks like she went to a groomer rather than a salon.

Honestly I can't tear my eyes away from the glaring eyesore of the sofa.

That is one ugly couch.

Looks like she got into a fight with a comb, and lost.
