Skittles’ Trayvon Martin Publicity Nightmare
Having people spontaneously talk about your brand on social media sites is an advertiser’s dream. Unless it’s because your product happened to be linked to the Trayvon Martin shooting. On Twitter, people are demanding Skittles issue a statement on this hot button issue, accusing the company of profiteering off extra publicity from the death, and even threatening boycotts.

laura haskell a year agoThat’s the stupidest f-cking thing I’ve heard all day. I’m sure Arizona and Skittles conspired to murder someone for the publicity. Jeez, people—-get a f-cking grip. This country sure has turned into a hysterical fustercluck.
