More on Toshiba's "Splat The Co-Worker Ad"

I wrote about this ad last week. I received this e-mail this morning. Apparently, a lot of kids are seeing this ad, which, in my opinion, encourages workplace shootings.

Steve,

I agree with you on the 'Splat The Co-Worker' ads.

These are also appearing on the uComics web page above or below comics, some of which may appeal to children. This appears randomly on http://www.ucomics.com/shoe/ and perhaps other uComics.

The uComics site seems to be part of Tribune Media Services. The TMS-syndicated "Shoe" comic is now handled by Gary Brookins, Chris Cassatt, and Susie MacNelly.

Email to their Tanya Tousi — Advertising Coordinator - is not responded to. I used to have a email for Chris Cassatt, but it no longer works.

This really should be stopped somehow. Any ideas?

I suggested to him (and suggest to you if you're bothered by this ad) that you get in touch with someone at Toshiba's PR Agency.
