6678: Weird Chocolate News.


There’s a mini-controversy brewing at BNET over coverage of GlobalHue’s alleged mishandling of the Bermuda Tourism account. GlobalHue apparently took offense to BNET editor Jim Edwards calling the agency’s media expenditures “weird.” Actually, the real weirdness involves the contextual ad depicted above. A story spotlighting a Black (or multicultural) agency and the predominately Black islands is posted alongside a banner for chocolates—for Valentine’s Day! Now that’s weird.
