Not sure what pulling them from sites means besides...pulling them from sites.


To be fair, my title was a cut and paste from this youtube vid...

The vid showed up in my suggestions because of my son's viewing history. lol.

Unless that’s a fake email, it says to pull them from all sites and marketing.


Wanna know what else it says?

quote:

At press time these sets are still showing up on the LEGO website and many are still in stock and for sale. We have reached out to the LEGO Group for comment and will update this story accordingly.


quote:

UPDATE: A spokesperson for the LEGO Group responded to our request for comment with the following statement: “We requested that our affiliate partners refrain from posting promotional LEGO content as part of our decision to respect #BlackOutTuesday and pause posting content on our social media channels in response to the tragic events in the US. We regret any misunderstanding and will ensure that we are clearer about our intentions in the future.”

Michael P Clark @firstmentormike

Got an email earlier from @Rakuten telling us to remove any ad links for @LEGO_Group products including a police theme.

The products are still for sale, they just don't want them advertised.



quote:

SilentMode @silentmodetv

Just had an affiliate email asking for certain LEGO sets not to be advertised. They all seem to be related to emergency services - anyone have any idea what's happening?


quote:

There are no plans to discontinue these sets or to pull any product from shelves despite affiliates being asked not to actively market them.

Then your rub is with the email wording.

Because that clearly states that they want them removed.

Companies making chess sets will start using black and brown pieces instead of black and white.

Ski resorts will have to dye their snow black.

People are fricking stupid.

Quit paying attention to these liberal pedophile degenerates in the media say.

The general public needs to give up on the sheep effect.

My rub is with the thread title. It's wrong.

It doesn't "clearly state" anything of the kind.

The email was poorly worded but you have to read past the statement from the Lego spokesperson that clarifies it to get to the email.

And Frick you for not realizing that a segment of this countrys' population have become so moronic, violent, childish, unhinged and cult-like that it's sometimes hard to tell parody from real life.
