We presume now that they have gotten to grips with memes, they’re probably also au fait with the word ‘fail’
If you’re not yet familiar with the ‘first world problems’ meme, then you’re probably new to the Internet. *Loud voice* HELLO. WELCOME TO THE WOOOOORLD OF TOMORROW!

Now obviously the whole ‘victims terrorism’ typo is not great, but we’ll leave that and the concept of it aside for the moment, simply because this was, as they say on the internet, a great big fail. Since the ad went up (and swiftly enough came back down) their error has been pointed out, again and again and again, leading to much derision and many laughs being had on social media channels.
In case you need some more context for this whole ‘first world problem thing’, here are a few examples:
