NBC's Undercovers: Colorful indeed

Earlier today, I walked by a subway ad showing a new NBC show about, from the looks of it, a black couple who appear the be under cover cops.

Hence the pun title, undercovers. Double meaning, get it?

Note the other double-meaning on the ad. At the bottom, it says NBC: more colorful.

Either NBC deliberately tagged a show with black characters (aka colored people) as "more colorful", or this "coincidence" slipped by all of their marketing people. Either way, it's worth noting, and sits somewhere between the realms of the amusing and the surprisingly offensive.
