In the day and age of social media, you can expect people to call this out. To think otherwise is head-in-sand strategy which is never a good option.
Don't shoot the messenger.

I'm not projecting anything. I am stating what she should have done.
1. "Calling out" can maybe be fine in some circumstances, but if the collateral damage does more harm than the good your "calling out" achieves, you have created a net-loss situation. How is that productive?
2. I don't care about the company or their image.
3. Is it possible this lady displayed poor judgement? She didn't have to "call out" the company. In calling them out, she expanded the reach of these stickers and this image a thousandfold at least. I'd think 10s of thousands fold, really. Is that what she was after because I don't see how that is positive?
4. My head isn't in the sand. Yours is.
5. I'm not shooting the messenger. I'm shooting her choice in platform to voice the message. She could have done better a dozen different ways that didn't involve broadcasting this negative message to the world and hurting our industry. What better ways are those, Sliver? Glad you asked. She could have figured out who hires this company and contacted them with her concerns. Maybe even couple it with the threat of taking it to social media. Going thermonuclear via social media was stupid and counter-productive.
