What is wrong with Kim Kardashian? She is not a wife beater, drug user/pusher. You say, "And now this one". If you are so virtuous and Apple isn't, you should stop looking at woman immediately as sex objects. When I see her picture, I think of a successful business woman that got her start via a TV show.
You must be gen Z. how about William Ray Norwood jr. ring a bell? How about Ray J? How about Dr. Dre aka Andre Young? If you don't know what I'm referring about then obviously you have no clue. I swear tik Tok generation is just indoctrinated with hot ordures.
 
And when I say apple is full of hypocrisy I mean a company that forbids p0rn, violence, and hate yet collabs with wife beating, drug pusher/user, and now a woman that made her start from her very own "videos". Imagine her kids that get to see her mom's best work on the internet <and I don't mean the clean ones> and literally every boy has seen it by now. If you cannot understand that concept of fake virtue then you fit right in with Apple brand. the moment apple announced they took in Beats, they became hypocrites.

I'm waiting for the iWatch, the iPad , iMac, iPhone in these colors. What a dull world.

lol Apple also hosts/sells music on Apple Music and iTunes where the artists/musicians were convicted/accused of s**ual assault, murder, drug using/selling etc.

where does the line get drawn? is it fine to carry their music, but wrong for Apple to have an ad campaign featuring Kim K whose tape came out basically a couple decades ago?

has Kim done anything as scandalous as that since? has any other tape leaked? has she OD’ed? assaulted anyone?

Apple is in the business of making money. average people and celebrities are not just defined by their past.

the headphones look fine. I won’t be buying any of them and don’t care for the campaign. shout out to everyone who likes it though!
 
They still sound worse than Sony WH-1000XM5 or any older version. No celebrity campaign can change that. But some kids might fall for it.

The world is indeed full of hypocrisy, but I still find it weird when people complaining about p0rn proceed to describe intimately specific details about it. I certainly understand your issue with the hypocrisy of Apple and p0rn, but comparing a p0rn actress to a wife beater is what I find problematic, even if it just through association such as the wording you used, since, as far as I understand the laws of the USA, one is actually breaking the law, while the other is just potentially offending your morals. Beyond that, while I may not be a huge fan of Ms Kardashian, this collaboration was with her current business, and (assuming Wikipedia is accurate) her tape was released in 2003, so I find it sad to think that the hypothetical statute of limitations for making a sex tape is somehow over 21 years when a violent felony is only 10 years in Connecticut (once again assuming Wikipedia is accurate.)

That said, I'm much too old to be gen z, but apparently I lead a more sheltered life than I thought, as I cannot connect the dots to the drug pushers with which Apple has collaborated, so can you drop a hint or two for an old man? Was that some unique branding exercise with Beats? o_O
