advertising and racism- the shot up bottle hidden promoting violence

this new billboard has been really bothering me. to me it looks like the bottle has been shot up and the red drink blasting out looks like blood. this seems like a way to sell this drink by saying "violence is real power; keep killing each other black men"
the shot up bottle = shot up person- promoting violence in the very communities where this is an invisible epidemic.
these billboards can be see around town in low income neighborhoods- i saw this one in the mission across from Food Co. on 15th and Folsom.
