Monday morning while I was working out at home, a commercial came on that showed two thugs holding a third guy on a bridge, then pushing him off. I thought, "Wow, what a horrible commercial! I can't believe someone is advertising murder/suicide!" Do you know who made it? My employer - the YMCA of the Greater Twin Cities! I was floored . . . and appalled!
So I send an e-mail to the top of our Y, the director, totally by-passing my chain of command by two levels. We met at 9:45 a.m. this morning, Scott and I, and what he called "edgie", I called "wrong". In the end, he went to his superiors. By 10:45 a.m. this morning, the commercial was pulled and now you can't even find it on YouTube! And believe me, that was the right decision!
Correction: The commercial will be pulled by January 31.
