It’s not quite the same as finding out that the most recognizable face of your company has been arrested for pedophilia, but Dunkin’ Donuts has to be rethinking its marketing strategy after spokesman Snoop Dogg spent the last 48 hours threatening CBS news anchor Gayle King and calling for the release of convicted sex offender Bill Cosby.
In January – one month after Dunkin’ Donuts’ CMO resigned to pursue “the next opportunity” – the coffee chain launched a national ad campaign featuring Snoop Dogg. Now, less than a month later, it has to make a decision about whether to suspend the campaign entirely.
Those of us old enough to have owned The Chronic on CD marveled at the idea that Snoop Dogg had evolved to the point that he would be the star of a mainstream advertising campaign. And it turns out maybe we were right. I think Snoop himself said it best on Gin & Juice: “With so much drama in the L-B-C, It’s kinda hard bein’ Snoop D-O-double-G.”
“Now, less than a month later, it has to make a decision about whether to suspend the campaign entirely.
they could always hire kaepernick instead ...
Where you been for the past 25 years?
I LOVE Vanilla cream filled! Hard to find. Not every DD has them.
How in the world does Dunkin Donuts relate Snoop Dog to their company?
Some people are reverting back to a tribal system. Whatever a member of their group does is OK.
Dunkin Donuts new sausage is made from plants. Snoop smokes plants.
Is he a Jehovah Witness?
Why would DD want a pothead pimping their junk, anyway?
If a doper advertises food, ain’t no way I’m ever eating there.
Since your career hinges on whether your actions can be seen as offensive towards blacks, what can he do? He can’t do a damned thing.
