This just keeps getting funnier. Today approximately 100 people reportedly gathered at Burton Snowboard’s offices in Burlington, Vermont to “demand that the two lines of snowboards be pulled from the market,” according to a story on Fox News.
Women’s groups and a group of men working against domestic violence have joined a growing chorus of criticism directed at the snowboards. . . . Two community groups have withdrawn their participation in a Burton-sponsored program to introduce disadvantaged kids to snowboarding.
Burton CEO Laurent Potdevin even released a statement to The Burlington Free Press saying that Burton “stands behind it’s products and has no plans to recall the Love and Primo models that have caused anger in portions of the community.”
And why would they after all this free promo?
