And another thing. I'm sick of having my life interrupted and inconvenienced for the sake of children. Nokia is looking at 18-35 year olds for this campaign and even though it will be seen by children, its for adults. if some kid is so wishy-washy that this ad makes them upset, then they are doomed to a long, agonising childhood. If they ARE being bullied at school then surely the thing to do is to address THAT, NOT try some 'bandage on a gunshot wound' approach by banning decent ads for normal people.
Kids are a lot more resilient than people think (i know, i used to be one). if they can cope with Tarantino, horror movies or peer pressure to inject drugs into their eyeballs (if you read some papers) then they can deal with this. If you watch the Simpsons you'll recognise Reverend Lovejoy's wife Helen's calls to 'won't someone please think of the children!!'
NO!
