Trigger warning at link - does this commercial bother anyone else -

[Ms. Toad]

I went to watch a video on a news site & the ad in front of the video bothered me - not a particular trigger for me, but one of the things I spent a fair amount of time at the rape crisis center was talking about letting kids have control over who and how relatives/friends/etc. touch them. When Mom and Dad insist that you let Uncle George kiss you in public (even though it creeps you out), what message does that give you when Uncle George does more than kiss you in private?

Anyway - now that I've totally prejudiced you, let me know what you think (so I can feel more comfortable that I'm not just totally off the wall firing off a letter to Pantech .

(My daughter, who suspected why I was asking her to watch the video, pointed out that if the genders had been reversed they would never have made this commercial.)

1. I agree with your daughter.

You're not off the wall.
It's a hideous ad.

2. That's horrible.

A relative doesn't even have to be that overt to creep a teenager out. I have an uncle that always lingered too long with a hug. He always alerted my spivey-sense when no one else did. It's an awful ad.

3. Your daughter is correct.
