Bloomingdale’s is apologizing after one of its holiday advertisement received backlash on social media for promoting date rape.

The ad was printed in the department store’s new holiday catalog. The ad reads:

“Spike your best friend’s eggnog when they’re not looking.”

Are 13 year old BOYS shopping at Bloomie’s these days? Or just working in their Advertising Department?

(Who is their core demographic with that ad?)

I’m guessing it’s the latter...

‘Tis the Season to Say You’re Sorry...falafel alfalfa (LOL...that autocorrected and I decided I like it better that way).

“Bloomingdale’s apologizes for inappropriate holiday catalog ad”

Let me guess, they had a picture of Santa saying “Merry Christmas”, and now they’re being investigated for a HATE CRIME.

No surprise, at least in that part of the country.

Don’t know about anybody else but I’m getting sick of all of the apologizing. Doesn’t matter what anyone does or says, somebody is always going to be offended. My mom always told me to think about things before I opened my mouth and let it overload my a**.

[ConservativeStatement]

Isn't one of the Twitter comments included in the article questionable?

Don’t do social media so I don’t know. Have limited time to keep informed so generally restrict it to scanning Drudge headlines and FR. Freepers can be counted on to be the best informed group anywhere.

Yep, EVERYONE is offended, yet these same “offended” people are allowed to spit in the faces of Conservatives, so spitting in people’s faces is A OK, as long as its the Conservative being spit on

[Michael.SF.]

But they were OK with the pseudo bondage scene of the man ‘gift wrapped’?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Oh, you betcha!

I’ve been spit on TWICE while in uniform in, ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan.’

I’m moving to the next county come Spring. Man, I HATE this place; people are either 100% insane or bordering on mental illness.

And that’s just the City Council members, LOL!

I say we should ALL have a Conservative healing space, where us Conservatives can live freely away from these liberal loons, where I can walk around and not worry about being beat up because I am a PROUD CONSERVATIVE..since blacks want their “Healing space” they want segregation that’s fine, I want segregation too, from liberal loons. I feel your pain, I live in Los Angeles, home of the looniest of liberals, you know who runs this city, La Raza, and the media here, gushes over the Dems and rolls their eyes when they mention Republicans..only decent thing about LA is the Lakers, oh wait, I take that back..1-7 moving on :(

[Diana in Wisconsin]

LOL!

‘What’s a nice girl like YOU doing in a place like this?’

I’ve felt that way for waaaaaaay too many years now. No more!

I’ll be in my bunker packing shotgun shells if you need me. ;)

[Sarah Barracuda]

COOL I might join you if things get really bad here in SoCal, actually I cant see how it can get any worse but I was born and raised here and most of my family is here(the rest are in Israel) so it would be hard to leave but Ive pretty much gotten used to the liberal loons here and my brother is dating a Conservative gal from Modesto and her family are majority Conservative which is weird for this state so that’s cool cause if she were a liberal I would tell her to dump her a@@ LOL

Spike your best friend's eggnog when they're not looking.

They should apologize! It should read "when he or she is not looking."

Idiots.

I tell folks that the time to bug out is BEFORE the SHTF. If you live in a liberal state move. If you live in a city move to the country or at least a small conservative town.
