I’m generally pretty hard to offend, so I don’t particularly care one way or the other — but I imagine this promo for Dexter’s fourth season is going to piss some people off.
They were pretty brazen with the previous campaigns, with Dexter’s smiling mug covered with blood spatter, but people get crazy about babies.
Even if it’s just a pants-crapping toddler with ketchup on his face.
Thoughts?

Well…it is quite clearly ketchup. Or strained carrots. I am not offended.

At least it’s seasonally appropriate, with Father’s Day.

Word, Rebecca. I think people will get more het up about where they can find that bib.

The grammar on the bib really offends me. Where do I complain?

Not offensive: it’s funny and clever! Fits the season!
Think “killer” is used as an adjective in this case…one I wish would have stayed in the 80’s, but it’s still appropriate. Dexter’s definitely a show that plays on words–how Shakespearean.
