A billboard for Spicer Greene Jewelers in Asheville, NC has come under fire for this awesome ad:

Does this billboard encourage violence against women? Some say yes, so a N.C. jewelry is taking it down. #Fox35 #GDO https://t.co/CKx4vSRxN1 pic.twitter.com/IR8cu4ttKx

Sigh. Here’s the new, PC version:

Boring.

The company even answered Chelsea Clinton personally after she complained about the ad over on Twitter:

Talking about hitting girls is never funny. Ever. https://t.co/cvtxykutis

We did not mean to offend with our recent billboard, it communicated something we did not intend. @SpicerGreene #Jewelers. pic.twitter.com/i918ZBHkNf
