CRASS MARKETING

I see another company has opted to try to get advertising by offending people rather than by selling quality products.

Urban Outfitters is selling a dress up Jesus paper doll where you can adorn Jesus on the cross in a tutu or beanie.



The quote from the company that it doesn't sell the item to provoke or offend but to reflect diversity is perhaps more repugnant than the doll itself.

A check of the company's website shows they also sell this t-shirt.



I'm sure they'll get the press they want and then they'll stop selling the stuff out of a sudden sense of moral obligation.
