It’s fine if they do this until it offends muslims. When that happens, the ads will come down to protect their delicate flower sensibilities (and to prevent an outbreak of Random Muslim Explosion Syndrome)

Let me guess. The ad slogan is;

“Who wants fudge?”

In Obama’s America, it is instead an impetus for such.

How many faggots live in DC? Why do they live there? They can’t all be politicians.
