I feel this advert is controversial on PURPOSE! It is designed to annoy a percentage of the population and get them talking. It will then be further raised on the news and on social media.

Adverts like these ultimately get people talking and raise awareness.

And then hopefully make the issue better, but maybe just further bifurcate the population and contribute to more tribalism, followed by people deciding to elect a shitty president in order to troll people they don’t like.

Unless its to raise awareness that teenagers are often cunts who dont want to hug their parents or grandparents because they think it makes them look uncool, its a waste of fucking money.

The point went right right over your head and is currently out of sight with no hopes of recovery

You really watched the video and gained absolutely nothing from it, that's impressive...
