Carnival Cruises just disgraced the memory of JFK.

[RandySF]

I was in the kitchen hearing part of a speech by JFK and thought it was a U.S. Navy ad. But as I walked in, I saw saw it was a crass commercial adverting cruises....disgusting.

8. Loved that Costa logo at the end

I was looking for a ship impaled on a pile of rocks with the captain on shore sipping a cocktail.

10. And of course there's the fact

that the CEO of Carnival moved to Israel to avoid US taxes.

13. US citizens are taxed on citizenship, not residency, and Israel has higher income tax rates.

The top income tax rate in Israel is 50%. So moving to Israel to avoid US taxes is like moving to London because you like sunshine.

12. they left out the noro virus

I LOVE the ocean but you'll never get me on cruise ship

[CatWoman]

14. well said

16. While evolution is a fact

It is not smart marketing to alienate a significant portion of your customer base. Combine that with using a dead president to sell cruises. Bad ad agency. Still not as bad as the Nationwide ad featuring a Sixth Sense like kid talking about how he missed life because of an accident.
