84 Lumber
2017 is looking like I’ll be wasting less & less time at certain places.
I think the purpose of the add was to encourage Mexicans to jump the border illegally so they could work for them.
I have been told that you should go to the net and watch the end of the video on 84 Lumber’s page.
It actually supports Legal Immigration. It suggests that immigrants find the Door and ask to come in.
Beyond that, don’t have an 84 lumber near me, so, I can’t boycott them.
Yep, pandering to contractors who employ illegals is not a very good sales technique. Not to mention insulting all of the indigenous construction workers kicked to the curb by the cheap labor f### america crowd.
It’s no wonder all of the banks were putting illegals at the front of the line for home loans, they were the ONLY ones being employed at that point.
If they stuck with reality, the mother and daughter would have been raped by the coyote.
Put that in ad, 84 A**holes!
They left out the scene where they are both raped and the little girl is impregnated. Got to have an anchor baby.
going out of business
Why is it, when companies decide to weigh in on some social/political issue , it seems that they want to bend over backwards to prove they are liberal.
It seems time after time, these companies are pushing a liberal viewpoint with advocacy ads or their corporate policies.
Why the need to show they are liberal??? Hard core liberal radical types who will be impressed By this, are about 20% of the population. While many may be indifferent about corporate positions, they are risking that far more than 20% could take offense and take their business elsewhere. So why do they feel compelled to do it???
“We’ve got over 400 positions that we’re looking to fill at all levels, at all capacities,”
Do they have a problem finding 400 Americans to fill these spots?
Very typical when a company forgets who they are and starts listening to their “hot” ad agency.
Think about it. Who shops (or did shop) at 84 Lumber? Contractors, Builders and DIY yourself people. Probably 75 to 85% male.
So they run this political commercial, and it will cost them business, not build it.
AGAIN, of course not advocating violence, but when America gets really pizzed off, ever been to a lumber yard fire?
I don’t see roasting going on at FB. I see complaints being met by a very strong group of supporters of the commercial.
They were not thinking anyone with 1/2 brain and with an option to go somewhere else for building supplies will
Apparently, they’d just rather not.
And Starbucks, n'est ce pas?
...Which has exactly nothing to do with the Super Bowl. It was a dumb ad for the occasion, period (I'm not lecTuring you; I know YOU know).
They are taking PLENTY of flak on FB. There are always tons of libs on FB ready to rally for any PC cause. The poster is right — they are getting shellacked.
Yeah, I want 84 Lumber contractors working on my project with my reputation on the line. Pfft... What a boneheaded move.
Glad to see someone can have more impact than I can do just complaining on a blog!
Oh I agree about the “nothing to do with the Super Bowl”.
I wish they would go back to the marching bands for the halftime show.
