    A little too cynical maybe.
    Doing a good thing for your own benefit doesn’t change the deed. Everyone does it, we aren’t selfless creatures by nature.

      I just struggle to see this as doing a good thing. Do you think he cares? Who is this helping? I just see it as a cheap PR stunt that takes advantage of an old famous person’s birthday to get people to think of them instead of that other person.

        If Lego inserted themselves into the convo, I would agree.
        DA had posted the picture with Lego first, and they’ve responded with a simple gesture. PR stunt? Sure. Does it hurt anyone?
