Not necessarily. It got people's attention. Even if some of that attention was negative, it was effective marketing. <shrug>
Seems to be a marketing trend lately to do something intentionally provocative. [See: recent Super Bowl commercials]

It got some attention all right, but tasteless is still tasteless. Do marketers have a soul even? They lie so much..........

No media is bad media.
As for expressing bad taste, it's just another freedom people need to respect, if not the bad taste itself.
