It is the sheer amount of recently popping up negative reviews of that "accidently" bad advert that is the actual advertising campaign.

This company and their competitors are eminent masters in deception and attention grabbing. Bad news sells, and it sells best.

Obviously, they catched even my attention this way. And i wouldn't ever (and never did) bother buying anything from them.

Falling into this trap myself is the very best example how power exerted over remote attention has become escapeless. Even its critics are the cheapest integral part of this very toolchain.
