1. Red Bull: bad taste flies high
Following the tragic death of parachutist Álvaro Bultó, who died practising wingfly in the Swiss Alps, Red Bull had the bad taste to use its motto to refer to the accident. Timing, timing, timing. This Community must have received a good challenge after the terrible repercussion that the tweet had.


2. Miele: the worst time machine

It was International Women’s Day , a day that brands lebanon mobile database usually interpret as a competition to see which one can launch the most sexist advertisement. The German company Miele took home the prize that year by publishing an image showing four white women sitting on a washing machine with a cake and confetti. The worst part was the copy: “Let all women remember to embrace what makes them unique.” A washing machine! We didn’t steal that trip to the fifties from you, Miele. After the waves of indignation that this advertisement brought, the Community must have realized that we are already in the twenty-first century.


3. Du Bois: the narcissistic typo?
When Trump appointed Betsy DeVos as the new Secretary of the Department of Education, he was met with criticism for DeVos's alleged incompetence to fill the role. It didn't help that the same week the Department of Education posted a tweet honoring civil rights activist W.E.B. Du Bois and misspelled his last name. The typo sparked even more criticism from the opposition. Many mocked that the typo seemed to bring the official's last name closer to that of the official and called her a narcissist.
