If PCs are offended - well at least this helps their cause even if for the wrong reasons and it insults them in the process. What are they going to do, vote WR because their feelings are hurt?
Non-PCs who are offended are going to laugh at the PCs for the amateur ad and it's not going to change their vote regardless.

With the tweet from the Edmonton Sun reporter who said that it was an independent group, it makes more sense than something from the PCs.
I think the reaction here shows that they had far too much to lose by releasing something along these lines, than in gaining. It's aimed at the 30s and under demographic and the whole PC campaign has failed miserably when it attempts to be cool like this. (i.e. The pretty bad not your father's PC party advert).
