Unfortunate Synchronicity
A movie promoter paid to have a trailer embedded on the landing page of YouTube today.
A pivotal moment in this video involves a man firing a gun in a church.
The people who arranged this promotion may not have made the connection yet. The folks at YouTube may not have noticed it yet. I did. The top story in America today involves a man firing a gun in a church.

That’s really unfortunate. I know that if that had been my campaign, I would have been on the phone with the nice folks at YouTube in about 5 minutes. Sucks to be so wildly inappropriate, but from a business standpoint, the extra attention is probably worth way more for them. Most reasonable people will understand that they couldn’t have really planned that.

This is so tragic, and its an unfortunate testament to the state of affairs in the world today. I hope YouTube takes this down.
