Panties in a Bunch Over Nike ‘Gun Reference’ Ad

KOBE-BRYANT-NIKE-GUN-AD1.jpg

Make the Logo Bigger’s Bill Green takes a long look at that “gun reference” Nike ad featuring Kobe Bryant and Lebron James. Some are offended Nike would allow such a reference. Some, such as Lebron (in a hilarious contradiction), defend the ad claiming the notion it’s a gun reference is ridiculous. Some, like us, don’t give a shit and think people should move on and not read so much into stuff. Not you, Bill. All those other conspiracy theorists and cause group kooks.

Of course NBA players bringing their guns into the locker room isn’t so smart either.

But seriously, give it a rest. Move on. There’s nothing to see here. Go live your life and appreciate it. Don’t waste it whining about advertising. Oh wait…

Married couples without children who make it past twenty years together have survived something most people don’t recognize as difficult. They chose each other without a buffer, without a project, without a shared mission beyond the terrifying simplicity of just being two people who decided this was enough.
