Wasn't there an awful ad from Samsung or some big company recently, and they had to pull it and apologize for it, because it was very offensive, and they had no idea what the ad would be prior to being on TV? (or at least that's what they claimed).

Either way, I don't think it's that hard to imagine. These companies, especially mediocre companies who like to "outsource" stuff and not care as much about the result, pay millions of dollars at a time, and don't look into all the details of the advertising campaigns.
