Among the star-studded Super Bowl ads that viewers saw during Sunday’s game was an awkward 30-second spot, filmed vertically on an iPhone, in which the rapper Ye talks about his new teeth and instructs the audience to go to Yeezy.com.
As of the morning after the game, when they visited the site, shoppers could find exactly one item for sale: a white T-shirt emblazoned with a swastika.
Assuming the shirts are print on demand, there’s a tiny amount of profit in that. I’m betting he just flushed 8 million down the toilet.
