Grandmaster, you are taking it too far since that didn’t happen. H&M does have a right to be notified that their ad was offensive in that community and that the owner of the space should have informed them of that. They could easily have put a children’s clothing ad, or a men’s clothing ad in that space and not a women’s ad that was offensive. It is not the fault of the advertiser and they should not be punished or demeaned. It is the fault of the space owner and they should be held accountable if the community is angered.
There is no point in playing what if. In order to do that you also have to play what if the bochurim are caught and H&M and the property owners want to press charges. Are they heros if they have to repay the thousands of dollars it cost to have the ad placed there for the month? Who is willing to step up to the plate and refund the advertiser the 10 – 30 thousand?
