Nike subsidiary Converse pulled a shoe ad and apologized after critics said the image evoked Ku Klux Klan hoods and a lynching victim, the latest self-inflicted wound for a parent company that has shed more than $200 billion in value since 2021.

Fox News Digital reported that Converse removed the ad from its…Open

Chris Hansen bought preshow ad space on every theater screen showing A24's Primetime, flipping a film he never agreed to watch into a marketing vehicle for his streaming platform, and his attorneys may not be far behind.
