Ironic Ad in Bicycling Magazine

I guess about two months or so ago a mountain biker was killed by a mountain
lion or at least attacked. In the March issue of Bicycling Magazine there is
an ad for Honda. It shows a "hiker, biker?" sleeping in the wild with a
mountain lion with its arms wrapped around him. I wonder if the ad agency
for Honda wonders if their timing was wrong?

Wasn't there a thread on this 2 months ago?

That same ad was in last month's issue as well, only a couple of weeks
after the event.

And, as pointed out -- repeatedly -- magazine ads are made up months in
advance, so the timing of the ads had nothing to do with the attacks.
