Maybe I'm just too cynical and tired of this shit, but it's just an ad. It isn't wholesome, in my opinion. It's just to make people share their product, and they had to pay almost nothing to do it. They didn't actually do anything for Attenborough. They just took advantage of his birthday to make an ad. Being *really* cynical, this was already a planned change, and they just picked an opportunity to maximize advertising opportunities.

I will not, and do not, disagree with anything you've said. But, I still maintain the sentiment of the act is wholesome. If it wasn't lego doing it and it was some mom and pop shop that did I don't think you'd be as cynical towards it. Or maybe you would. I don't know your life internet stranger 🤷

Please don't try to take this away from me. There aren't many things to be hopefully about these day, and most everybody here recognizes this for what is is. But it's a far cry from the rape cover up, murder, and war going on daily around the world right now. We all need a little bit of lightheartedness right now.

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.
