Coincidence or bad taste?

n one of the Freeview channels recently, the NSPCC has been running an advertising campaign, asking people to donate money to help stop child abuse. It consists of several children, alone and upset, each of whom has been suffering a different kind of harm.

All very laudable. Is it an unfortunate coincidence or deliberate bad taste, then, that several times the advert has been followed immediately by an ad for Knorr stock cubes asking us to end the misery of vegetables left alone and abandoned?
