This is why they've been running nonstop ads about their "code of ethics" and how they help the community. The ads have been run practically on loop for several weeks in English and Spanish. At first I was just like, what a joke, tell that to 2007. But then it was just getting weird how often the ads would play...now I know why. They must have known this was coming to light.

PR is a profitable business to be in. There's always someone or some company that needs to rehabilitate their public image.

Eh, worked in advertising and pr for a decade, it’s as soul crushing and immoral as being a lawyer, but for 1/4 the pay.

I'm sure someone somewhere is making a pretty penny on spinning this stuff
