The people of the world may stop, but capitalism doesn’t.
Whenever a tragedy happens, everything changes, unless you’re Kmart.
The retailer took a break from promoting their 15 must-have toys for the holidays on Friday to tweet their condolences (above) for the people in Newton, CT affected by the shooting earlier today, but still threw in the hashtag #fab15toys.
Because what’s a heartfelt tweet without a little shameless promotion?
They have since deleted that tweet, and attempted to do some damage control with a flurry of new tweets hours later:

We’re glad they finally realized what’s really important today, and it definitely isn’t toys.
