Controversy
Rodarte: M·A·C was the center of controversy when public offense arose over the anticipated September 2010 release of the M·A·C Rodarte collection, a collaborative effort with the fashion label Rodarte. The collection was based on the border town of Juarez, in which at least 400 women have been killed in brutal slayings. M·A·C eventually pulled the line before distribution, and instead set up $100,000 in a charity.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
