The billboards included the statement, "We're like a cult with better Kool-Aid," over a glass containing a mixed drink, as well as the phrase "To die for!"

Amazing that someone seriously thought this was a good idea!!!!



I know, right? I mean, it's common knowledge that the Jonestown mass suicide was carried out using Flavor-Aid, not Kool-Aid.

Major faux-pas on his part. :yesnod:

Nah, this is a SERIOUS thread. Saying shoes are "to die for" is simply a fun figure of speech! :D

Said it "over there" too. I just don't see how it's that big a deal, it's been over 30 years.

I think it's pretty funny...

The problem is that today people get offended at things because they think something might be offensive to somebody else rather than because they are actually offended by it themselves.
