Bloomingdale's is receiving some serious backlash after a photo of their new ad surfaced online. The retailer gave its customers the worst advice in their holiday catalog by suggesting that you "Spike your best friend’s eggnog when they’re not looking."
Seriously, how was that approved? Even more troubling is the accompanying image of a very sus man standing next an unassuming woman that doesn't exactly look his "best friend." Of course, the Internet was quick to call Bloomingdale's out for their creepy and potentially harmful ad that appears to encourage date rape.
There's still no confirmation on if Bloomingdale's will stop running the campaign.
Wtf what a weird slogan. Who would even come up with that and think it was smart? How would nobody involved in the editorial say "hang on a minute here......"?
I think if they did a male/male or female/female pairing, they could have gotten away with it as a "fun friend" thing. I think they're just trying to be fun, but the picture and pairing make it a little sinister.

Right cause date rape doesn't happen among gay people
