Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
How do you advertise guns/shooting ranges without images of guns?
And don't forget Rage Against The Machine.Better pull all those albums off the shelves too.It's context Mike. Lots of things you like are probably deemed offensive or in bad taste by some other group. Thankfully our country isn't founded on taste but freedom.
A fashion style can be considered "All the rage" as well.When it says "Join the rage" I immediately think of this definition."4. A current, eagerly adopted fashion; a fad or craze"I truly do think that is this advertisers intention.Whether it is distasteful is up for debate but as was pointed out... this spot is a highly coveted spot and unlikely anything was done last minute and this was probably months in planning. So this guy finally got the space he wanted and he's be bad guy because some wacko went and shot up a school at the same time. 3 months ago when he possibly came up with this billboard concept it would have been perfectly acceptable.Aren't we letting the "terrorist" "win" when we modify our behavior due to their actions?Now, I'm not totally insensitive. If someone would have placed this billboard across the street from the school then I would totally agree. Or in the case of your friends the West Borough nuts... I think at the funeral is definitely in bad taste... though obviously they have the american right to do what they do, but I personally wish they would all just get some crazy disease and die.
QuoteHow do you advertise guns/shooting ranges without images of guns?Its not about advertising guns for sale, in this case its about using the word RAGE and a gun. Not sure what planet some people seem to be from but around here Rage and guns when together make you think about Road rage, work place rage, school rage on and on. If people are not adult enough to recognize that then they really are out of touch.
Right... but I never did.When I see "Join the rage" even with the gun behind it, I still think fashion or fad as in the definition I quoted.Are you suggesting that if these recent shootings would NOT have happened you would have still associated that word with the same thing? The whole premise being discussed here is "too soon", so context is a time thing here not an image thing.
