CO invades my dinner

So I decided to have a Chinese takeaway for dinner this eve. When I took out my rice, I discovered that CO has decided to advertise on the containers. This, in and of itself, is certainly not a bad thing. However, the advert seemed less than culturally sensitive to me:
* One side: New Daily NonStop Service to Bejing. No problem there
* Other side: We Deliver Too. Ok,I'm not one for being PC. However, it seems to me that equating service to China with Chineese take away is just abit insensitive.
Clearly this is not the most offenisive cultural faux pas that has been made; still, it does seem in pretty poor taste
