Olsen ‘Got Milk’ Campaign Pulled, Replaced by ‘Got Blow’

Poor Mary-Kate’s trials and tribulations with anorexia and drug use have driven the marketers at the Milk Processor Education Program to pull the campaign “out of sensitivity for her situation.” And with Ashley saying in May at the outset of the campaign, “We want to make sure our fans are healthy like us,” well, you can imagine the conference room discussions about brand association on that one.
