Whatever.

I work in Advertising ( not at O&M ). This sort of thing is very typical, especially around awards season. The industry is full of people who are fashionably radical, but their understanding of politics and world events in typically very shallow.

So when they try to present a political message, they inevitably screw it up and produce something that looks like it was conceived by an angry teenager.

As others have states the 1 Million + number has been thoroughly debunked – and IIRC Hiroshima didn’t immediately follow Pearl Harbor, there was some sort of war, or something, in between.

Also I suspect that the Muslim babies comparison is meant to cow the brits – as in, they have more babies, so you’re a hypocrite for wanting to determine the future of your country – but instead comes off as a call to arms.
