I built this website. From scratch. Including the servers.
Here is CNN's official statement for rejecting the ad, wherein CNN takes on the job of the FCC, checking what is false advertising at the door. I'm fine with that if they want that responsibility. If they allow any other false ads in the future can this statement be used against them in a suit? IANAL but yes.

Ooooh this amused me so much. I don't even care that I don't know how the viewers of the show get the gear. DM? If it's DM it's brilliant. I love this idea. So French. Also I want to build that castle so I guess I'll be playing with the kids while someone else watches the show.
Update: It's worth noting that Mark Dice had his Facebook ban lifted, after articles were written about it in far-reaching conservative outlets Breitbart and Heatstreet. This isn't the case for your regular facebook users who don't have newsworthiness or fans in those numbers. The fact that his statement was deleted at all, when live streamed murders, rapes and kidnappings happen unhindered, show that Facebooks strategy relying on users to flag "offensive content" breeds a lot of issues. You get what you pay for, as the saying goes.
For anyone who has read this far, we have an update on the backlash and boycott threats against Dove here.
I suppose I could have added this tweet as well, though it's a tiny derail from my point that this is a bad strategy. I was on Kungsgatan 14:45 during the terrorist attack in Stockholm, an event that seems to have obliterated my storage of fucks to give.
A week ago I narrowly escaped a terrorist attack. Now I'm being subtweeted for acknowledging #realmoms ad is awful. Completely out of fucks. pic.twitter.com/mBxGBcPfHR
