I appreciate the opinion, but there’s a portion of the population that has a very different response to this messaging. They’re not removing it for the people who don’t care, they’re removing it for the people who do.
]]>Thanks, Martin. I’m not really an overly-sensitive person, but in this case, it definitely tapped into something. It was more cringeworthy than outrage. I appreciate the company responding so quickly by offering to remove the sign.
]]>Thanks, Paul, I feel the same. I know it’s been a few years (and I didn’t lose a loved one), but it still brings up emotions. Kudos to MGM and New York-New York for addressing the issue by removing the billboard.
]]>I was surprised by how few people seem to remember it, but it was very much associated with the flight that went down, and there were even songs about the phrase. Oh, well, they’re taking the sign down, so onward and upward.
]]>Agree many of those feelings are still around. Kudos to NY-NY for removing the billboard, though.
]]>I was surprised by how many people weren’t aware of that phrase or its association to the attacks. For those who are aware, this, it’s very much a to do.
]]>Agree, thank you. It doesn’t get the same reaction from everyone, but glad they’ve decided to remove that unfortunate message.
]]>Thank you so much for responding so quickly and decisively to this issue. I know it’s not inexpensive to swap out creative like that, but the sensitivity is very much appreciated. I’m sure others who found the message disconcerting will be thankful as well. What an extraordinary act on the part of your company, and truly admirable.
