Another holiday promotion has offended customers on the web.
A recently published Bloomingdale's holiday advertisement has gone viral on social media, with people calling out the company for encouraging date rape.
The ad shows a woman laughing with her head turned away as a man stares at her. In between the man and woman there is text that reads: “Spike your best friend’s eggnog when they’re not looking.”
People have posted the ad to Facebook and Twitter, with many writing negatives comments on how it is "inappropriate," "creepy," and is in "poor taste," The Wall Street Journal reports. The ad has received more than 3,000 comments on social media.
