Space bar must have froze up for a second.... :D

Proof reader must have been on coffee break

.

Blackcurrant is actually the original UK spelling and I think we in the U.S. created black currant because it's more "correct" like red raspberry.

Yikes, either someone didn't get the kate spade memo, or...anyone seen epstein lately???

I think more than a proof reader is missing here. Disgusting.

OOF!

Doh!

Jeebsus. You'd think someone fashionable enough to work in that advertising capacity would also know about the company they're repping.

RIP.

There is no way this was accidental.

A bunch of old dudes on a car forum know about the manner of death of a fashion designer.

That information could not have possibly escaped anyone with even the most remote tie to the industry.

This was a regrettable joke by an immature copywriter gone horribly wrong. The only accident is that it probably wasn't ever intended for publication or release.

I don’t know. I might drop into a Kate Spade store next time I’m out gift shopping.

Until Cabs post I was flummoxed.

Then, Jeebsus indeed.

This is so wrong...

Everyone should know better than offer something supposedly funny about this.

Me too. I had zero idea who she was, and I certainly had no idea she killed herself.

I remember hearing about her suicide in the news, yeah, the advertising people should've know better.

I had no clue as to WTF.

Went over my head.

Please suspend this side commentary.

What's striking is this was not done by an intern and just "put out there".

There was a Creative and Marketing team involved, 6 people at minimum.

I had a guy back in the day who used to write manuals, when they were still included, for our games.

He suspected no one really paid attention especially the Marketing guys who'd read a couple pages, make some stupid comment then sign off.

He used to put all kinds of F'd up shyte in them, like "Sandy Kofax used to pitch with a gerbil in his ass", stuff like that, just to make sure people were really reading it.

It's highly unlikely but remotely possible this was some stupid internal attempt at a joke that got into the wild.

As in it people caught it, there is a more recent version but someone wasn't paying attention and grabbed the wrong file and sent it.

Yeah I had no idea thats how she died - its very possible that the person that wrote it didn't either...

Well that’s the real crux of the problem.

There had to be a half dozen people involved.

It tells us no one working on the brand has any knowledge or history with it.

Every brand needs an internal evangelist who knows every detail.
