  • On 3 December 2014, the now-defunct web site Naha Daily published an article that quoted Timberland's (unnamed) CEO as saying he didn't want to see Blacks and Latinos buying and wearing the company's boots: However, none of this was true, as Naha Daily's disclaimer identifies the site's content as completely fictional and based off current events in urban culture and entertainment. Among the site's previous stories were articles headlined Police Dog Wins Medal for Killing Ferguson Protester and Cop Shoots 1Yr Old Black Baby After Mistaking Pacifier for Gun. This fake news piece mirrored an older false rumor that Timberland is owned by the Ku Klux Klan. (en)
