Seems full-arsed to me.
Had to be intentional, either by woke PR department to thumb their nose at anybody that actually recognized it and cared or intended to stir up controversy and get the company talked about.
One side says "time to boycott wokeness again... but they pulled it so they're ok" and the other side "at least they tried to shit on Christians too bad they didn't go through with it", and they all have the company in their mind now.
Yeah, some marketing snobs are circle jerking how clever they are that they got so many eyes on that add now.
It may be a deliberate jab rather than half assed, maybe they wanted rub it in people's faces that they hate them and want to remove every trace of them from history, so they make it obvious why they removed it by being very specific about what part they removed.
They were hoping that people were so used to current architecture being so dog shit that a massive, concrete monolith sticking out like a giant cock wouldn't seem out of place.
Or, as I posted elsewhere, the fires of Rio and Notre Dame…
Or like, the commies literally destroying churches (first USSR, and then obviously China, where that still happens. Also Vietnam…).
Also, fucking ISIS at Palmyra et al. Or the Saudis doing the same across Arabia…
I’d say that’s all obviously worse. But nonetheless, yeah.
