Unless we live there and have been through it, we have no say. Ottawa has its very own 'bad' areas some just around the corner from Parliament. In every place you go you'll find good and bad... why is Flint being ridiculed? It's just another wasteful use of money. Put the money towards something useful next time.

This guy is so out of touch with reality that it's a little frightening. It's also clear that he's never taken a single PR class in his life. I'm originally from Flint and currently live in one of its suburbs. I've been struggling as to whether or not I should even tackle this on my blog for various reasons. But I wanted to thank you for being so critical of this campaign and so open. I just followed you on Twitter (I'm @damnredhead) and I'm glad I found such a great mind same field but sorry it took something like this to make it happen. “I don’t think the campaign could be seen to be in any way offensive, except maybe to doll enthusiasts.”

I live in Flint and can say EVERYONE in our city is deeply insulted. I also work in advertising and know that Attention at any cost is hurtful to your client when done in this manner. You NEVER make your self look good by shitting on the other guy. It is a sure way to alieniate your viewer, as why would anyone buy from you when you are obviously a terrible business to carry on in this way. An apology to Flint is certainly in order. Business in Ottawa should boycott this radio station and ad agency. Lastly to the good people of Ottawa that have spoken up regarding this repunguant act by a very few jerks, We thank you and welcome your lasting friendship.
