This is beginning of my controversial ads invovling children. These are all powerful and very important ads.
Oh my goodness gracious, this ad is definitely a slap in the face, and the sad thing is that it is too true. Too many parents allow the television to dictate chidlern's lives. This is very powerful public service announcement telling people to be more watchful of what their children see on television. Many kids now days do not have restrictions on their television privilages, some parents use the tv as a way of keeping their kids out of their hair. This ad condemns that kind of mentality, and although it has become increasingly difficult to censure what children see with so many media outlets (tv, internet, phones, ipads) this ad askings parents to try and control the graphic images seen by their children or at least discuss it responsibly. It is also a strong support for the question of do we shape media or does it shape us. In this case they argue that media, especially television, is shaping how our kids think and act. In this case they have a very young girl dancing like a stripper on a bus pole. It is a very strong commercial and makes people stop and think about what they let their children watch on telelvision.
