Out of respect for the families of the victims of Sandy Hook Elementary, I have waited nearly two weeks to write this post. However, I think it’s an important issue.
I was on campus when I heard the news. I headed straight to the Internet to find out what was happening. As I pulled up the very first news article titledĀ At least 26 dead in shooting at Connecticut elementary school, I was presented with an extremely offensive ad selected and served by Google (see image above or click here for a larger image).
The t-shirt in the ad from BadIdeaTshirts.com depicts a woman who has been shot with the phrase, “I’m fine.” Considering that the events of that day are some of the most horrific and heartbreaking in America’s recent history, this t-shirt and ad are, in my opinion, simply unacceptable and far over any line of common decency.
