I just can't imagine the reaction of a family that has recently lost a child due to an accident of any kind. Had to be an horrific scene when that ad aired. Not fair to put people through that reaction when they're just trying to have a good time. I realize the ad could air at any time and they'd get that stomach punch regardless, just seemed way out of place.
How about the nomore.org commercial?
If you're a woman at a Super Bowl party and your husband beat you last weekend?
That out of place as well?
Not really since you had fair warning about this. They've aired similar stuff every game all year for the most part. The actors fake crying and saying nothing. There was a reasonable expectation they'd air at least one if not 3-4 or more ads with that content.
IDK, kinda the same to me.
Big stage, ruin the party kinda message
If this was a drunk driving message, about staying safe, not driving drunk etc. then it would have been overlooked. Same with the nomore.org. We have become desensitized to drunk driving messages, and we are on our way with domestic violence. But as soon as it's a kid, it's horrible and the worst ad ever.
Should they not show nomore.org ads because of women or their friends or family members might be offended? I lost an uncle due to a drunk driver ... Should I be offended by a drive safe and sober commercial?
This was something totally new. It touched on a subject that quite frankly, is almost taboo. Nobody wants to talk about children and death. It's unnatural. BUT, it happens.
Childhood cancer is one of the most underfunded of all cancer research. There's very little resources heading there ... And nobody wants to talk about it. But we can go pink for the fight against breast cancer ....
