Brilliant campaign strategy, you have to admit. Three placement hits for the price of one.

1. The original advert publicity hit.
2. The outrage at the original advert publicity hit, then
3. The outrage at the outrage publicity hit.

You've done their advertising for them for free!

For me the worst part of this is the media reporting that 215 people were upset.  Why not report that somewhere in the region of 48,000,000 adults weren’t and don’t care
