5:25Now PlayingCadillac’s third party ad department recently caused a PR nightmare for the company. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Cadillac disavowed a casting notice Saturday that called for actors to portray "alt-right (neo nazi)" in one of its commercials, Reuters reported.
A notice posted Friday that called for "real alt-right thinkers!" of any nationality swiftly received online backlash, with screenshots circulating on social media:
The brand distanced itself from the casting call on its Facebook page, writing that it was unaware of the notice and that it disavowed posting that it said came from an outside agency or casting company.
"Cadillac did not authorize or approve a casting notice for an "alt-right (neo-nazi)" role in a commercial," the statement read. "We unequivocally condemn the notice and are seeking immediate answers from our creative agency, production company and any casting companies involved."
The Cast Station, a casting service apparently linked to the Cadillac commercial, posted a statement on its Facebook page Saturday saying that the notice was posted in error and that the employee who did so had been terminated.”*
