You have been hired by a fashion consultant to help solve an argument between a social morality group and the GG marketing department. The morality group feels that Ginch Gonch should not be allowed to have billboard of their new advertisement next to a major freeway and 100 yards from a highschool. However, the marketing team at Ginch Gonch feels they are within their rights to market their products anywhere they want. Your job is to discuss the pros and cons of each side and make a decision on what should happen.
There are many factors that may shape the decision of what is proper and what isn't. Companies should have the right to advertise their products freely, regardless of their sexual inclination. However, in this case, there happens to be a school within walking distance from the prospect billboard and the advertisement content may be inappropriate for kids (considering previous GG ad campaigns). The same freedom of speech and opinion that is granted to GG, it should equally apply to a morality group and concerned parents. In this particular case, I believe that both the moral group and GG should agree upon a censored or soft ad that still represents the brand but yet does not offend anyone. Perhaps a heterosexual oriented ad would be the key answer
