"This is a sensitive issue and HP takes the matter very seriously," the Daily Star quoted a HP spokeswoman as saying. "To reassure you, all relevant advertising has been withdrawn in the UK and the issue is being urgently reviewed in other countries," she added.
The
advert
features
in
a
marketing
campaign,
being
screened
across
America.
US
campaign
group
Child
AbuseWatch.net
called
for
the
boycott
of
all
HP
products
and
a
public
apology.
"The
goal
was
to
encourage
HP
to
revise
or
remove
the
ad
from
airplay
due
to
the
poor
taste
and
judgment
by
HP
that
using
the
track
reflects
in
the
face
of
our
national
child
sexual
abuse
crisis,"
a
spokesman
for
the
group
said.
