They're not trying to stop McDonalds from distributing food, just pointing out a crass and distastefull advertising campaign.

(At the risk of being Godwin'd twice in as many weeks) How about the McHolocaust Burger, or the 9/11 Chicken Twin Towers - Smokin! Or perhaps the Bosnia-Hertzogovena Burger with ingredients sanitised by exotic immigrants (ethnically cleansed) - it's just not in good taste.

There was once an advertising campaign in the works for a frozen french-fries company. They thought it would be good to put their logo on the side of Fire-Trucks, with the tag-line "Home Fried" - Needless to say, it didn't go down too well.

It's not pussification (whatever that means), it's spending a little time thinking how your media campaign might be percieved by others.
