Indeed, that would be the most clearly ethical thing to do. However, if
one really *were* the brand manager for the corporation which produces
it, I wonder how long one would keep one's job were one to endorse
transparent action like that. Probably not long. This is why I don't
work for a for-profit organization. Not that non-profit is all *that*
much better, but it feels like it.
