Instagram Blows up on 9/11 post

In his newest movie, Entourage, actor Adrian Grenier has received a lot of publicity and fame for the film. This past week on his Instagram account, he received a lot of scrutiny and insults, due to his posted picture in remembrance of the 9/11 attacks on the United States. The post read the following: "R.I.P the 2,996 Americans who died in 9/11," the graphic said below an image of the Twin Towers. "R.I.P the 1,455,590 innocent Iraqis who died during the U.S. invasion for something they didn't do." The post caused quite the uproar and had some graphic comments left that aren't appropriate for this post. "Disrespectful!! You are a horrible American!!" a follower commented. The article that was written about Grenier's post said that he deleted the post, but as social media and news has taught us so many times, whatever you put out there, it can always be found and retraced. A post like that on a day of infamy and solace is something that in my opinion, deserves an apology, and he has not yet given a response to the post besides deleting it. If we put our real-time marketing hats on for a second, we can tell that this is a bad move on Grenier's part for not responding to "crisis". His image is definitely in danger, at least it is in the U.S. Social media is tearing him apart for that post and it should be interesting to see how he responds to it all, if even does end up responding.
