Yeesh. I can believe some dork thought this was "clever" advertising.

No. It doesn't *air* over here. The story is, as fa as I understand it, that
it's a "draft" advert which was sent out electronically for some people to
review. It got "leaked" (intentionally or unintentionally I don't know) and has
been *slated* in the press and also by animal welfare groups.
