This will lead to anywhere only if it is picked by outside media, and given that we are here, it has been picked up by outside media, therefore, it will lead to somewhere. And in that intangible sense of 'somewhere', I foresee some very not nice things.

I don't have much of a comment on this because I very rarely allow myself to publicize or acknowledge such brazen, hurtful, and tremendous stupidity.
