WHAT HAPPENED WITH FIGS SCRUBS? CONTROVERSIAL AD SPARKS APOLOGY AND DEBATE ON TWITTER!

I think this event has a number of interesting points.  First, from a search perspective it will take a lot of 'good' or 'positive' articles about FIG to come up so that this doesn't bubble up to the top of a search.  Second, from a marketing perspective it seems crazy that internally at FIGS didn't realize how this could come off.  Clearly the marketing partner didn't either.  The cost of a mistake like this will be huge.  I don't know what type of marketing campaign they could engage to reverse the backlash if any.  Likely outcome is they need to just create enough content to 'bury' the story.
