On the heels of Yoni's post on marketing and advertising blunders, I found this UNBELIEVEABLE item. It's almost too CRAZY to believe!
Let's call it "How to Do Irrepairable P.R. Damage to Your Company With Assinine and Idiotic Marketing Decisions!"

Yup, those little kids' beauty pageants and padded bras for 7 year-olds. They both go way too far in promoting the sexualization of those who would best be left to paly with their Barbie dolls, Snoopy Sno-Cone machines and enjoy their childhoods!

The only conclusion was they were NOT thinking! And yes, it is downright creepy!

Thanks for your comments! Thanks also for stating and voicing your revulsion at this story. I'm shocked that marketers don't seem to have a comittee where ideas are approved. If this company did, how could a board of directors approve such a product! Advice to all business owners: share your next marketiong idea with others. Get feedback and see if it is worthy, appropriate and suitable!
