What Is Wrong With Texas? I Swear, Get 60 Miles Out of Dallas and Brain Cells Evaporate

Have you seen this? Thank God, it’s not an actual woman tied up in the back of a pick-up truck, it’s an ad for a company in Waco, Texas that makes decals for trucks. They thought it would be a good move to make a super realistic decal depicting a woman tied up in the back of a pickup truck. According to Business Insider it was intended to be an experiment to show off the company’s decal-making capabilities. Instead, some people are making 911 calls, thinking the image is real.
The “lifelike”decal is the work of Hornet Signs, a Waco marketing and advertising company business owned by Brad Kolb. Kolb told KWTX that his business has received “an influx in tailgate decal orders since the sticker has hit the streets a month ago.
“I wasn’t expecting the reactions we got, nor do we condone this by any means,” Kolb added. But apparently he condones it enough to use an image of violence against women to represent his business. A female company employee even posed for it!
Kolb said it was something he wanted to “put out there, to see who notices it.”
Well guess what, people are noticing and wondering if it is horse manure or fertilizer that has seeped into your head. I cannot even imagine what kind of decals he might come up with for a real estate company!

Why are people perpetuating stereotypes of violence against women! Anyone with two brain cells to rub together would see that this is a bad idea!

This is horrid. I would advise my clients never to do business with this company. Such graphic, violent images reflect on the company's leadership, their thinking, and its culture.
WOW, this is in such bad taste! I can't imagine that the police in this area much care for it either. Like they don't have enough to worry about in terms of real crime, rather than criminal BAD TASTE!
Exactly!

It all starts from the top down in Texas – when you have people in control like Rick Perry, it perpetuates the complacency and down right disregard for Women.
And as a man, as a Texas man, Im saddened, embarrassed, and ashamed of this.
