That's creativity. We sure will see more diaper designs if this one sells.

I saw this discussed in another group, where the general consensus was negative.

I am surprised that the views were negative. I love this ad.

Perhaps, the parents don't want diapers to be too cute so their kids can get off them. The sooner the better.

Some people find it creepy, but the general reason is that they dont think diapers should be worn as pants, and this product seems to encourage mothers to let their kids wear only diapers in public.

 

And there is the whole premise of starting so early with the commercialism thing, wasting money on something so disposable. And the video tries to sexualize a baby, and features women checking it out. Many find it innapropriate/creepy. Another step towards designer babies.

So it really has nothing to do with the after effects of eating to many blueberries?

I think the comercial is brilliant, becasue it satirzes the comercialism and sexualization of objects so well. "I'm number one when I go number two." is brilliant.

Interesting... my initial reaction was positive too, I thought it was hilarious... I hadn't looked at it this way.

 

I'm totally against other advertising (such as teenage girl models used to portray adult women) where children are used for similar reasons... I cringe at the site of that baby beauty pageant television show on TLC (I can't understand how doing that to your kids can even be legal!)...

 

Definitely food for thought. Thanks for sharing your opinion OttawaBBW.

I agree with you here! I can't understand how parents are allowed to use their kids this way.

Honestly I think this ad is too cute, especially with the grown man accent.

It's easy to find negative things about all commercialism. Clearly it wasn't the best idea ever.

But let's take it for what it is: clever, funny, and cute.

I mean really, who can resist a cute little boy, dressed, acting, and talking like a grown-up.

AWWW!!!:lol:

 

As with everything else in the world, it's only perverted and gross if you make it that way. Clearly that wasn't the initial intention of the commercial, but point taken.

Money is such a big motivator.
