I'm not saying the show was made by Nazis but it sure looks like a graphic artist is

That's a big leap without context for why it's there

I'd I hadn't lived through the last 8 years, I would absolutely agree.

Unfortunately, Nazis and white supremacists have felt more emboldened and accepted than they have since WWII. Their talking points and ideologies are becoming "just another opinion" instead of a poison that must be excized. Their codes - like 1488 - are becoming more mainstream so that real Nazis and edgy teens alike blast it everywhere.

Sure, it's not impossible that it's a random number on a elevation map that shows no other elevations and displays the elevation prominently right above the lead actor's name. At the very best that's a huge oversight by a graphic designer and anyone else charged with reviewing the ad before it's played across the country.

I find it to be more likely that it's intentional and someone slipped it in to a part of the ad that flashes in the screen for less than a second to promote and strengthen their movement.
