As a coda to this whole story, it's good. I'd like to think that public pressure in response to dishonest or dishonourable behaviour (agency) actually _does_ produce results.
In the grand scheme of life and other, larger issues, the Hand from Above v Forever 21 is pretty small; I'd like to think, though, that on a grander scale, this incident of bad baheviour with resulting outcry and pressure would yield results for more important issues. BP, politics, et cetera, for example.
If there's a lesson to be learnt here is that - thanks to the internet - the collective public voice really _does_ matter, if heard as a single, strong thing. Activists of all stripes with a cause worth rallying round should take note of this.
I'd also like to think QBN had a fair bit to do with the outcome. :D
For a better tomorrow.®
