The Top 5 Most Disrespectful Brands on 9/11

Yesterday was the 13th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Thousands lost their lives, and thousands more lost family and friends. Lives were changed forever, so it's important to commemorate the event and remember the sacrifices that were made. However, in trying to remember 9/11, some brands have overstepped the bounds of respectful.

The Top 5 Most Disrespectful Brands

5. Intimacy Box

Because September 11th is a great time to run a sale on your clearance items.



4. Medieval Times

I don't know about you, but I don't typically associate men jousting with a serious event like 9/11. It's great that they want to show respect for those affected by the tragedy, but a better way to show respect would've been silence.



3. Marriott Hotels

Really? Complimentary coffee and mini muffins for 30 minutes? I think this one is pretty self explanatory.



2. Build-a-Bear

 We will never forget... how to profit from tragedies. I'm totally supportive of having an army bear, especially if some of the profits go to support wounded veterans, but I'm not supportive of advertising this bear on 9/11. Pick pretty much any other day of the year and you'll have my support.



1. Fleshlight

For those of you unfamiliar with what Fleshlight is... make sure to google when there are no children present around you. Fortunately, they deleted their tweet. Unfortunately, they thought it was appropriate to post something in the first place. 

The most appropriate way for a brand to handle 9/11 is to not post anything at all. For those who insist on posting something, Verizon had the right idea on how to show some decency.
