Is this Fox promo for "Prison Break" offensive?

The Fox series Prison Break ends its four-year run next week, and to promote the finale they're sending out press releases ... accompanied by bars of soap.

Above you can see an example that was sent to The Advocate, along with the statement "we hope the enclosed bar of Prison Break soap helps lather up excitement for the two-hour series finale airing Friday, May 15."

Well, if it's lather they wanted, it's lather they've got. GLAAD spokesman Rashad Robinson released this response about the tacky giveaway:

"It’s unfortunate that Fox thinks a veiled reference to prison rape is an appropriate part of their marketing campaign for this show."

What do you think about Fox's "gift"? Is it offensive? Funny? Just plain ... stupid? Take our poll and let us know!
