Saw the same type of ads fronting plant workers here in France, trying to give the coke company a "very french and human face". Asked myself the same question, if the company noticed a dip of profit important enough to spit out this "don't think of us as American, we're also totally local. Look, our wageslaves have first names resembling yours. You wouldn't hurt our wageslaves would you ? They're just like you" psyop.
