Are you only upset about the term they used to announce the item, or are you upset about the item itself?
If you are upset about the terms/wording they used - humans can make mistakes, and not everything gets sent around to 12 different people for proofing and checking to see if anyone might get offended before posting. It happened, but you need to move on.
If you are upset about the free CAS item, then don't use it. It's very easy to skip over the hat section entirely. If you REALLY don't like it, download S4S, and use it to remove it from your game. I'm sure someone on those forums could help you figure it out. Otherwise, ignore the free item. It's really very simple.
