Park Chung Hee? |

Oh, by the way. I sent some e-mails last night. Nobody in Korea has responded yet, of course. This is what I got back from the Simon Wiesenthal Centre:

Chan-Won Park
President
Coreana Cosmetics
Gentlemen;
Your renowned company is all about beauty. In your own words you want to promote "Beauty, hope and happiness in your life". It is therefore incomprehensible to the Simon Wiesenthal Center, and its constituency of 400,000 families that you would launch a campaign using Nazi symbols and a reference to mass murderer Adolf Hitler in selling your product. Frankly put, these images and references are insult to the memory of the victims of the Nazi Holocaust, when 6 million innocent Jews were systematically murdered and the millions of other innocents who perished at the hands of the Nazi regime, its SS and military. Further, the survivors of those atrocities are outraged that their suffering at the hand of these racist murderers is being mocked by such a campaign. As you know, the Jewish and Korean people have much in common in their long histories, including the terrible tragedies experienced during the years of the second World War. We can only assume that such a campaign was mistakenly undertaken.
We therefore urge Coreana to immediately cancel this campaign and pull all advertising elements that use Nazi symbols and references to Hitler. Please advise us of your decision as soon is possible. I am available by cell phone at 310-210-9750.

Homer, I hope the people at Coreana overcome their collective character defect that is face saving and do the rigt thing-pull the ad and make a public apology.
Homer, I am waiting for that to happen. |

| At first, I thought the uniform could have been just... kind of a general one (as in not country specific), but after the close up and the sound bites of the first vid I'm convinced it's in bad taste. |

I was talking with the society teacher at school, who has more than passable English-he didn't know what The Holocaust was. So I am guessing no-that and Confucianism encourages ignorance.
We get it, igtg-you dream of this chick for all the wrong reasons. |

That company should definitely pull the ad and apologize.
This is a case where Marketing doesn't talk to PR. |
