It is pretty gross, though.

The advertiser knew this before going to print. The real audience here is the millions of other folks who don’t take everything soooo seriously and can recognize a little topical humor when they see it. Props to an advertiser with a sense of humor and the smarts to recognize that a good proportion of its target audience has one too. As for the placement, given the tone, content and messaging, it couldn’t have been better.

I had to think about it for just a second… really bad placement of the ad right under a photo of Barack holding a kid… gross factor — HIGH!
