When it seems she is finally starting to question the situation, instead of just calling her daughter directly, she drives home from work in the middle of the day. Mom thinks people in the photo are Brad's family, but upon calling Brad's mom, doesn't figure it out. Things that make it less plausible: Mom doesn't have her daughter in contacts.
There certainly are people who won't believe they are capable of making a mistake, even when confronted with strong evidence to the contrary. Why? Because then gets more visits and more ad revenue.Īnnie Martin: I did consider this. She was designed to make you angry at her, to make you want to share this story on your wall. In short, this is not the behavior of an actual person. This is a Mom who acts like some kind of weird, angry robot, who can only send text messages, and who can't check a phone number or receive a call to confirm who she is speaking to. This isn't a Mom who is stupid or unreasonable, no. After all of her completely bizarre behavior toward a completely understanding party on the other end of the line-when she is finally confronted with the mistake-what does she do? Why, she suddenly starts swearing like some kind of coked-up hooker who just got stiffed, punched in the tits, and told to walk home. She carries on for two hours doing everything in the world except taking three seconds to look at the number at the top of her screen.
During all of this, she can't check the number? Instead of taking 3 seconds to check, Mom (over a period of two hours) does the following: Accuses her daughter of using drugs (again!), reminds her daughter of her own birth date, cancels her daughter's credit card, and calls her friend's mom to find out what's going on. If she even checked her other conversations, she would immediately realize the mistake. Hard to believe Mom doesn't have her daughter's number already in contacts, but even if not, she should have previous messages from her daughter. This is where the other 0.1% would stop and check for a mistake. Mom is given pictures of the other person and told multiple times the number is wrong. 99.9% of people would check the number at the top of the conversation, realize the mistake, and move on. Mom keys in her daughter's number and is immediately told that she got it wrong. You won’t see me anywhere near your shops these days hm.”Ī spokeswoman for the retailer said: “This image has now been removed from all H&M channels and we apologise to anyone this may have offended.Let's use some of our own intelligence, and think critically about the story, shall we? 1. “It’s a projection of your neocolonial thinking.
We have to do better.”Ī person tweeting under the handle vulkaanrots said they would boycott the store: “So the black kid gets to wear the H&M sweater with ‘Coolest monkey in the jungle’ and the white kid with ‘Survival expert’. If you look at other sweaters in same category, they have white kids. hm do you think this imagery is an appropriate representation of a young black boy?”Īlex Medina, who works in brand design, tweeted: “In the year 2018 there’s no way brands/art directors can be this negligent and lack awareness. The Labour MP Kate Osamor tweeted: “I was totally shocked, dismayed to say the very least, to find this online imagine. One bears the words “Mangrove jungle” and “Official survival expert” the other has outlines of various animals including giraffes and tigers. The image of the model in the green hoodie has been removed from the H&M website two similar designs modelled by white children remain.
