One one hand, I do think that the Twitter soccer moms complaining about this are kinda exaggerating when they think this will "corrupt their children" or something. Come on, you can find real dicks on the internet in less than a millisecond, I'm sure your child has seen worse.
On the other hand, this ad is just trashy as fuck. Who thought this was a good way to market their product?
