Naturally a company no one has ever heard of has grabbed national attention. Gotta keep the redneck trash narrative going.

That is so embarrassing and disgusting in every single way. Terrible optics at a time the industry doesn't need this type of PR, either.

This is exactly when the UPC Propagan-I mean the War Room needs to step in and say this behavior is unacceptable and doesn't reflect the rest of AB oil patch.

"We are disappointed to see people focus on this crude sticker which is frankly an outlier when the oil patch is full of a diverse range of more light-hearted decals that are a better representation of what we believe in: unlicensed Calvin peeing on an NDP logo, 'Notley Destroys Province', 'Fit in or #### Off', and 'Trudeau: Lock Him Up'."

What vague apology. Was none of the leadership team willing to put their name to the press release? What "organizational change" did they make so this won't happen again?

Didn't they originally deny they produced the sticker in the beginning?

My guess is they are sorry they got caught. Business as usual with the stickers if there wasn't a media storm around it.

Honestly that sticker is tame compared to many of the memes I have seen circulating. Let's not pretend that this is something isolated.

So maybe their organizational change is to not lie about their stupidity in the future?

Obviously super trashy of them, but who is the dumb-dumb that flapped her gums about this to blow it up in the first place? Like, let the trashy guys put this on their no-mudflaps trucks beside their shocker sticker so you know who to hate on the road. By posting it on Facebook and being all offended, you just amplified this message and did a total disservice to all Albertans that - in my mind - is worse than the original offence. I don't see how broadcasting this to the world invites any attention we would want. We just love shooting ourselves in the foot here, I guess.

So basically you see something distasteful just ignore it and don’t call it out is what you are saying? I thought the best way to end bad behaviour is to call them out on it, not sweep it under the rug and hope it goes away. Or am I misunderstanding you.

To expect something like that not to make it to social media is just pure ignorance. Far too inflammatory and technology is pervasive. This company should have got it at the neck when it had the chance - after that it was only a matter of time.
This is 2020, not 1990.

She flagged it to the RCMP as child pornography.
