I'm always stunned at how things like this get approved and moved through the process at big companies.
I guess no one responded to the email asking everyone in the marketing department "Do you think this is a good or bad idea?"

Sometimes I think big companies get this sort of thing because they assign some junior person to some marketing element with minimal supervision, and forget to check up on things.
