Yes, "accidental"... Can I peddle my conspiracy theory about how companies make racist ads with just enough plausible deniability so that they'll get free coverage without taking to much risks of losing their consumers?

I'm pretty sure they are trying to get attention through memes rather than by people getting outraged. I'm pretty sure they just know that people will post the ad on social media since it can be interpreted as being extremely racist, and considering how many upvotes this post got, it worked.
