Rapper Releases a Branded Ebola Mask

This is nothing but (a) cheap opportunism; (b) a get-rich quick scheme; (c) in bad taste; (d) potentially dangerous; or (e) all of the above.

If you picked (e), you’re correct! Exploiting the Ebola situation by selling a face mask–something that would be highly ineffective in protecting you from Ebola in the very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very remote chance that you encountered someone with the disease, this smacks of poor taste.

See what else Cam’ron has to say at The Hollywood Reporter. This dance track from West Africa is a much better idea.
