Or perhaps they're not clueless, but recognizing hindus as an unlikely target audience, they decided it didn't matter if they were offended? Not that this perspective makes them look much better...

But, yes, in the cultural context it is a sick, sick idea. Especially if it is a genuine advertisement.
