Yeah I thought that commercial was in very poor taste, and I mentioned it in the Super Bowl thread right after it aired.

They made very light of a pretty rough situation the Tibetan people have dealt with for a very long time. My little brother is a buddhist so maybe I'm a little more sensitive than most, but they could have made their commercial a million other ways.
