Has to be satirical... Where does the QR code link to?

That's kind of assumed with this community

I saw this elsewhere online so don't know where the QR code leads, as it's so small to scan in this image. As for it being satirical, yes. A subvertisment is a parody of corporate or political advertising, often to make a point.
