Well I think we've established the logistics and legals of the product. So, on the causing a reaction, I'm confused as to what you think LTSB should have done. They are targeting a massive market and clearly want to publicise it to that market. They are simply promoting a product - causing a stir doesn't come into it. In the public arena it simply hasn't caused a stir - if it was in any way controversial, surely it would have done? All the publicity has been about the reasoning behind, and practicalities of, the product.
As I say a few racists out there might try and make something of it (ignoring the realities of the situation as they do), but that's about as far as it might go.
