Bloomingdale’s Promoting ‘Date Rape’ in New Ad?

You know damned well it’s part of the human culture to go out for drinks, hoping it might lead to an after hours session of the intimate nature.

Having said that, I am not so sure about ‘spiking’ my best friends drink when she isn’t looking. That sounds sort of date rapish, no?

The ad, which was released in Bloomingdale’s 2015 holiday catalog and was meant to advertise Rebecca Minkoff merchandise, features a woman looking away and laughing as a young man looks at her suggestively. The text reads: “Spike your best friend’s eggnog when they’re not looking.”

The luxury department store owned by Macy’s Inc apologized for the ‘inappropriate’ eggnog advertisement on Tuesday.

“In reflection of recent feedback, the copy we used in our recent catalog was inappropriate and in poor taste,” a spokesperson said in a statement. “Bloomingdale’s sincerely apologizes for this error in judgment.”

I’m pretty sure the homo-hammers at Bloomingdale’s outsourced this ad to some fucktard ad agency, who wanted to be ‘cool’, ‘edgy’ and ‘hip.’ The problem with ad guys is they’re inherently creepy dorks, sliming about the office lurking for trends and trying to be cool. They bend to the caprices of a millennial generation who is totally devoid of human decency. As a result, they craft million dollar ads promoting date rape.

Message to Bloomingdale’s: quit trying to promote forced coercive sex and get back to being good merchants of overpriced textiles.
