I really don't have any desire to squabble with people that have a different view of this commercial. I do however, not feel the need for those that don't have a problem with the commercial telling those of us who do, to ligthen up. After all, I am not telling you to change the way you view and think about things. We are all different and what bothers some does not bother others. So be it. We all have the right to voice our opinion in a respectful and responsible manner. While it seems those that didn't neccessarily mind the commercial, do mind that some of us took a different view point. I don't believe any of the opposing outspoken people once chastised anyone that did not find the commercial offensive or told them to seek a higher moral ground. So please, can those that don't have a problem with the commercial, not have a problem with those of us that are archaic in our views and did not like the commercial. Personally, I don't like any mis-information about ferrets being promulgated as so many ferret people spend alot of time and energy trying to educate the unknowing on the true nature of ferrets. But my main problem is the unnecessary violence on commercials viewed by young ages. Children are a big market for the soda companies and I do not see the Pepsi company only intending this commercial for adults. The movie this commercial parodies was rated R and not for general audiences. Why then, should it be allowed 24-7 for all ages?? As for boycotting the product.... aren't commercials meant to persaude people to buy a product? If so, then this one failed for me. -- Karen Young Ferret Affair [Posted in FML 5616]
