"Sophie's Choice"

[ Edited ]

‎03-27-2018 09:15 PM - edited ‎03-29-2018 01:23 PM

I recently heard a host on one of the shopping channels use the phrase "Sophie's Choice" in reference to how difficult it is to decide on a color of an item.

 

Thoughts?

Hmmm... i don't like it ....I find any Holocaust reference in bad taste ...

context ....

Wow that was in really poor taste

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

You have all shared my strong distaste for using such a phrase in this context.

A person who would use this phrase so thoughtlessly would probably also approve of calling Good Friday "Black Friday."

 

Ignorance abounds.
