If they blatantly say “this is commentary on rampantly consumerism” then the commentary does not work. And either way, there is no bad press. Do people love it? Hate it? Doesn’t matter, they’re talking about it.

    The myth that "all advertising is good advertising" is just that. There are reputational impacts from stunts like these.

    Just look at how bad Ye has fucked up his career. Sure, he's still rich as hell, but he ain't coming back from that.
