Blush Creepy Commercial

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DR4jkMFfRg

Does anyone else find this commercial inappropriate?

Reverse it......put a little girl in the little boys spot - with a bunch of grown men hanging all over her and you'd have an uproar heard round the world! Why, pray tell, does this company think it's okay to do this sort of commercial with a boy? I think it sends the wrong message. I certainly wouldn't want my son portrayed like this.

Am I overreacting? I like funny commercials as much as the next person but this just portrays this little boy in such a wrong light (to me). Plus, it's not funny and not even cute.

What do ya'll think?

You are right on all points, Kelly. Bad taste commercial all the way around.

Thank you oh keeper of our weird, distasteful commercials.

Creepy, and I really don't get the point? It isn't like the etrade babies which are a tiny bit cute and funny. Ugh.

Why are we having children dance in sexually suggestive moves? hip bumps, grinds, dry humps? its disgusting! I also get upset when I see 5/6 y/o girls with sayings across their back door. "juicy" or "honey pot" and ICK! are you nuts?! This girl is going to have to fend off men most of her life, and you cant let her enjoy being 5 without folks reading her bum??

From too skinny women with low self esteem to the worship of drug addicted singers the world has gone crazy! What happened to being appreciative of someone who gets good grades? (dakota fanning!) or is really smart and funny?? instead we celebrate the antic of those who make silly fools of themselves.

This commercial is offensive, rude, and sends a sexual message about a child! how can they get away with that?

Thumbs down

I don't get the point either. Whatever person came up with that commercial and whoever gave it the thumbs up, needs to be on the unemployment line or headed in a new career direction. Not only is it inappropriate but it is stupid.

Tongue

It is stupid...and reflects the company which must be all
men who choose things. I can't see a woman allowing this.

I think the message is that "use this product" and even if you are
short, pudgy or not the typical hunky model type" our product
will make you irresistible.

This is just because people are running out of ideas these days.
The same is happening to new movies targeting the young set.
Some of those are so vulgar and gross now.

I'd like to go back to the good ole days, when you couldn't say "bathroom", much less showing someone in there in the nude!!!

Or your show would get cancelled.

Has anyone ever watched 'TODDLERS & TIARAS" to me that is using
children in an unfit way.

Those poor children are being tortured getting dressed to look like they
are in their 20's. I believe this is the parents dream and they are living it
through their children. Ever notice what some of these parents look like, so
they are making the children suffer. There has been children 6months old when they start.

To me this is abuse and should be stopped.
