Does this feel like actual advertising to anyone else?
- Not at all, but I am craving Cinnabon™
  
  With its hot gooey layers of cinnamon and dough draped in sensuous icing how could we all not crave Cinnabon™?
  
  I have a sudden urge to watch better call Saul
- I was genuinely thinking that it seems like the kind of viral ad a smart (or terminally online) marketing department might come up with.

Posting this now after what happened in DC, in Philadelphia, and the Philippines is insensitive.
- I know a person who had an Instagram account that passed recently. It's a little insensitive for you to bring it up so close to their passing.
  
  I knew a person once.
  
  how dare you bring up this painful memory.
- This isn't dunking on anyone or harming anyone. It's not punching down. It's making fun of Cinnabon (and of marketing), not plane crashes. I think your comment is a bit over-the-top.
  
  I would agree it’s not insensitive. However, if it’s making fun of advertising, why use the actual stylized brand name?
  
  Thank you for being the only decent reply to my comment.
  
  Thank you for the explanation and I agree with you.
- I forgot how there wasn't any plane crashes until recently.
- Posting this after what happened to Orville Wright and Thomas Selfridge... smdh
