I've seen some pretty distasteful MLK Day ads, but this one...

It's somehow even worse in the original email. It has a little animation of the chocolates jumping into Dr. King's mouth.

No, I really don't think this is going to change anything. Though I'd be pleasantly surprised if it did.

Honestly, I just wanted to share this horrifically tone deaf email I received. It's so fucking terrible that it makes you laugh about it. Like, some marketing goon somewhere actually thought this was a good idea, and the mere fact that that goon exists is both sad and kinda funny. It's like when McDonald's used "I'd hit it" in an ad for their double cheeseburgers, only racist as fuck to boot.
