While most clothing com panies merely exploit the individuals and governments of the developing world, Kenneth Cole's latest ad campaign simply exploits the entire region. I encountered a billboard in Toronto that read, "Middle East peace is the must-have this fall. Make a statement. Kenneth Cole." So in the spirit of Kenneth Cole, I have decided to make a statement, "Shamelessly capitalizing on desperate situations for the sake of profit is the most callous advertising tactic this fall.
