Makes you wonder how many more people have done this. I know some companies actually faked outrage, like with EA creating a fake protest to promote Dante's Inferno:

And hey, given how much attention even bad press can bring, I can definitely see other individuals and companies having done this in the past. Seems like a pretty good growth hack for taking advantage of the Twitter/Reddit/Tumblr outrage culture.
Maybe many other 'controversies' were really the same thing.
