PR Fail: Amazon Silent on ‘Keep Calm and Rape a Lot’ T-Shirt Scandal | PRNewser

PR Fail: Amazon Silent on ‘Keep Calm and Rape a Lot’ T-Shirt Scandal | PRNewser | Public Relations & Social Media Insight | Scoop.it

If there’s one trend we’d like to kill deader than the Harlem Shake, it’s “Keep Calm and Carry On”. Now comes news that will hopefully mark the end of this meme:Amazon is in a big pot of extra-hot PR water after briefly carrying a series of T-shirts bearing charming slogans like “Keep Calm and Hit Her”, “Keep Calm and Knife Her” and the winner, “Keep Calm and Rape a Lot.”

 

We think we speak for everyone when we say “Yikes.”...

Jeff Domansky's insight:

While it's impossible to police all products for sale immediately, it's easy to apologize. A surprising PR fail from Amazon.

I think the real data will show up when we explore linked open data of social networks, rendering this with social footprints, blogs and other contributions people who influence because they share their unique parts of the knowledge taxonomy with one another and like this comment, usually in a meta or keywording format/s.

Social media strategies devoid of risk management can lead to long days in the court room. Most businesses are not aware of the legal and reputational risks surrounding social media done poorly.  Comments are welcome.

Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight, May 21, 6:28 PM

"It’s been said that 85% of the people who work in social media have been in the industry for less than two years. I think it was LinkedIn who first suggested this, but it often explains why there is so much bad advice floating around, so many poorly devised strategic plans and so much money wasted on failed campaigns." We have serious problems because many are self-appointed leaders.
