So you're saying that company didn't make the ad? How do you know? And if so, why hasn't it been taken down? If I owned a major company, I wouldn't want the bad publicity that an offensive ad might bring.
Cement company ad in poor taste?

This company has their own YouTube channel and this ad isn't on it.
Why would they or any other company in the business to make money make an ad that offends people? Who knows if they are even aware of its existence or aware of the process to have it removed.

I'm seeing things online that this is a fake ad.
We all get caught at times. It reminds us how important it is to do your own research. But again, i've been caught before too.

It's been up a month and I'm sure they would have gotten complaints about it by now and had it removed. I know when I made a youtube with some copywriten song on it, it was taken down in days.
Copyright laws are a legal issue. Being offended by something isn't.
OK but using the likeness of a company without their permission could be a legal issue too.
By the same token, movies about WW2 made before 1968 would be in equally poor taste. Millions died there. And vietnam movies made before 1998... or desert storm movies....
My parents, both WWII veterans, wouldn't let me watch Hogan's Heroes when I was young. They felt it was disrespectful to those who had actually served time as POWs.
Dad was in the Canadian Army, and went ashore on D+2.
Mum was a Wren (Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service), and served at a Canadian naval base.
I don't think it's an issue of how much time has passed; it's a matter of dealing with the subject matter respectfully.
I agree time isn't THE factor, but as time passes there are less and less people that are directly involved. Definitely the dead should be held in respect.

It reminds me of the loud mouth on the radio who claims to be a superstar sales trainer - can’t stand the guy and mute him …
You guys are really touchy about this. And for such an important event you guys sure accepted the official reports quickly and moved on to invading. Very respectful I would say 
I mean, one guy leases and insures all of the WTC buildings just months before the attack and all of the 7 buildings are totally destroyed. I think there was also a church that got destroyed and that’s it. No other buildings get destroyed or damaged beyond repair. But looked over there, Sadam, he looks mean and evil enough, let’s get him!!!

So next in line we should stop glorifying drinking right? I mean drunk drivers kill unwilling victims daily.
Never enough time will pass because someone always wants to reopen the wound.
That's pretty low.
If only the OceanGate submarine was made of NagarJuna cement!
I think the #meme should be a hint. Most missed it I guess

The guys on the vessel told me the nose fell off after one “successful” dive - I think it had several things ready to go …
Yea, some of the comments on the video are, shall I say, interesting.
