Um.

Today I made the mistake of glancing at my junk mail before throwing it in the recycling bin. I immediately regretted this.

Could someone please explain to me why apparently real CPR classes and healthcare equipment are being advertised using a picture of a woman in a ridiculously hypersexualized nurse costume?

Plus random, totally unexplained football helmets?

If I wanted to learn CPR, you know what I wouldn't look for in a CPR class? Advertising aimed at attracting incredibly creepy straight men and giving them misleading ideas about whether CPR actually has anything to do with saving lives or is just a fun excuse to feel strangers up.

Well, I suppose the football helmets might be tied to the "Personal Protective Equipment" under their Products & Services. The branding would presumably be tied to the very weird targeted advertising. Medical knowledge is straight and manly! Nurses! Football! Pathogens!
