Ad Watch: Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
Back in March, China's Heng Yuan Xiang Group, which produces wool products, released this ad for the Olympics. Within days, the backlash from it was so strong that the company was forced to pull the ad.Luckily/unluckily, the ad still lives on today on YouTube.
To answer the question you'll be asking afterwards: no, that video's not stuck on repeater. The company actually used the "let's annoy them until they buy our product" marketing strategy. It's the "Are we there yet?" of ads. Enjoy (kind of):
