Kim Jong Un

Advertising will always be linked to popular culture and current events. Something that has been talked about recently has been North Korea and their dictator Kim Jong Un. North Korea has threatened to fire missiles at the United States and other places and many people are worried, upset, etc. A New York City gymnasium has decided to poke fun at the whole situation and advertise directly to the dictator. The ad claims that Jong Un should go to the gym because exercise makes you happy and happy people won't shoot missiles. Obviously this advertisement has gotten some publicity because its just a billboard in New York and I am writing about it. This just shows that advertising is controversial and revolves around current events.
