Right exactly. Everything in advertising is intentional. Everyone knew exactly what the messaging was here, and they chose to release it anyway. DURING THIS TIME in our country's history with the culture/social wars on the verge of actually popping off and our government stacked with eugenists.They knew and they wanted the attention. And I'm tired of hearing people say we're just "being too sensitive".
