Look, I hate the guy. But too far. And her tears and claims of bullying Etc? Give me a break. Expecting? The Secret Service to send her flowers? She had to know that she was going to get a reaction.

It was done in bad taste, however all the fuss over it makes me wonder why it is we hold our comedians to a higher standard than we hold any other public figure. Ted Nugent made threatening public statements about Obama and he wasn't even joking. Why were those okay?

Too much. It's also against federal law to do something like that and because she's a pseudo celebrity she's paying the price. Believe me, I despise 45 with all of my being but you can't mock a presidential beheading and expect crickets... her conference was also a joke. She was mucking it up for the cameras.

I would honestly and certainly not be shocked if 45 got assassinated or someone tried to IRL. Given other precedents in (US) history and the massive divide and violence he ignites and casually encourages

@copywriter1 the reaction I think is directionally proportional to the relevance of the person taking action. I think ted nugent is more in the vein of a fringe celebrity(?) who has a smaller and probably already far right swinging following vs. Griffith who my guess is has not only a larger following but also appeals to a broader cross section of people. Doesn't make either one more excusable than the other but why the reaction varies. Not to mention the press conference makes me think KG did this for all the attention and is secretly enjoying every second of airtime she gets

Too far

If it was a little less graphic but got the same point across it would've been fine. She misjudged the Internet

Yes and yes.

@DLBI 2 I don't know that I'd consider Kathy Griffin that much bigger a celebrity than Ted Nugent. She probably has more national appeal but she's still overall quite niche. Not someone most people pay attention to. I don't think this has anything to do with this. Donald Trump had Ted Nugent over at the White House for crying out loud. Let's not forget all the other right wing celebrities and television personalities that have also said violence inciting things. There's an incredible double standard going on and you can disagree with Kathy Griffin's display while still seeing it.

@strategist1 I definitely would have cared if I heard about it re Obama. Seriously Ted Nugent was not on my radar. I only started to hear about it recently. I really think the immediacy of Facebook and app alerts now vs the. need to be put into context as well.

Something about me is both a curse and a blessing - I can't ignore what is not clear, logical, aligned, and simple. Even if that means that I have to work several minutes or hours extra on a document or an email. Things bother me if they aren't as expected. Unless I understand something clearly, I can't let it go. This is what helped me excel at studies. At work, my obsession makes it hard for people around me. If people complain about me, should I just let it go or change my approach?

Why does the 3% Conference get so much money from agencies & clients when they have a history of showcasing toxic, abusive to female employees underneath them, women in advertising? Every year, people are shocked at who gets featured there. The idea is not just to celebrate women, it’s to celebrate aspirational women. Maybe they ran out of speakers and are dipping down too much. But agencies and clients should take a hard look at who is speaking before giving money.

During the VMAs last night there was a car commercial and all I have to say is that if your brand is picking a 5 year old Sia song that didn’t even chart too well as a song for a NEW commercial, you need to tap into culture a little bit.

I’m begging for a world where we stop using songs like this and Roar by Katy Perry as the standard backing tracks for boring ads.
