    So how do you explain that unbelievably naive advert getting past all the scrutiny and checks and actually being released. If it wasn’t meant to deliberately create extra attention albeit mostly negative?

    It may be "beyond you" but looking at what little I had to go on and how "any publicity is good publicity" it's not hard to imagine it as a possibility.
    You have the same facility as anyone else to do a bit of research before accusing anyone of racism or anything else that is pejorative.
    And the 'any publicity is good publicity' is nonsense in this context, isn't it? Best research Gerald Ratner...

    Isn’t it a good thing no one noticed? I honestly had to double take when I first saw the story in the news.

    Right, so before just making my own opinion on something on a messageboard, I need to do research every time before making a comment.

    From design to production to marketing how many people did that pass through without someone posing the question ffs?

    Maybe 'accidental' racism?
