Cheetos "American Sniper" Tie-In Ad?

The most recent Cheetos ad shows Chester Cheeto guiding a boy to shoot his mother in the butt with a Cheeto. Well, this reminded me of the movie American Sniper, so I thought maybe they'd make a tie-in ad for the movie.

So here's how the ad would work: Bradley Cooper is looking through his scope, and the camera pans back to show Chester Cheeto, who says to him: "Your whole life has been a preparation for this moment!" And then we see a POV shot through the rifle scope, and we see that Bradley Cooper has shot Cheetos into the mouths of Iraqi insurgents, causing them to instantly switch sides to fight for America due to the irresistibly cheesy taste and magnificent crunch of the Cheetos. And so as the tag, we see a news report saying the war is over, and the Middle East is a peaceful utopian paradise, and all thanks to Cheetos!

No? Too inappropriate? Well, it seems to me that the Cheetos ads of late have gone out of their way to achieve a level of impropriety, so maybe just take it a few steps further?

Here's the Cheetos ad I'm referring to (See if it doesn't also remind you of American Sniper, at least in a silly way.):
