It was Tim who got the official statement from the marketing geeks: <blockquote>It has been brought to our attention that several unauthorized, sexually suggestive advertisements portraying the PUMA brand have been released over the Internet. We are appalled that images like these would be created and distributed under the PUMA name. As a brand, we seek to take a unique perspective toward our advertising in an effort to challenge the boundaries of our industry; however we would never consider using these tactics. We are in the process of researching the circumstances and reserve any legal steps available.</blockquote> tag:metafilter.com,2003:site.24289 Fri, 14 Mar 2003 07:57:49 -0800 advertising puma shoes sneakers spam hairyeyeball
