4. If you mean do I think someone sat down...

If you mean do I think someone sat down and tried to think of the most racist advertisement to post, no I do not believe they did.

2. Granted it was dumb for them to not think of this I guess, but do you really think they meant it to

be racist.

What I find appalling is that not one person in advertising, merchandising or PR had one clue that it was offensive. NOT one.
