Who doesn't like a good fart joke or high-brow existential humor? Those are rhetorical questions. I have to assume you know who Jean-Paul Sartre is and have a sophomoric sense of humor to get this design? Those two things don't go hand in hand except for people like me.
Humor is subjective. I've discovered that in my day job. I launched what I thought was a perfectly harmless and funny ad campaign showing zombies mindlessly driving their cars and doing the things we hate like driving in traffic, pumping gas and trying to find parking. The point was to encourage people to go off auto-pilot (pun intended) and take public transit. But apparently the campaign billboards frighten small children and offend the mindless because I've got lots of complaints. One a couple of days ago suggested who ever came up with the campaign and the one who approved it both be "let go."
If I wasn't so close to retirement and quite jaded, I probably would care more. But seriously, when was the last time you wrote a company because you thought their ads were stupid? We live in a time when a convicted felon, sexual predator, misogynist, racist, lying narcissist, fascist craps on our country on a daily basis and these people are offended by zombies driving cars?
What is that smell?
