watched it and that commercial was pretty realistic. can see why the stations have been 'sitting on it.' should only be played later at night imo...

That's so typical of the American media. Don't want to offend anyone or make anyone think.

Unless it deals with Sex or Sexuality. Then they are fighting to be the first to do it.

Well OK then. That works for me!

But Michael Jackson is having a court trial!

Too true LCR, and what about that Jon Benet thing anyway, all this "politics" is getting into my news about that.

I know what the commercial is trying to say and all that bunk, but ya know, when they try and be sooooo dang harsh with the message, sometimes it turns to comedy. Look at those anti-pot commercials. They show kids getting shot by guns or run over, or giving themselves away due to smoking pot. I don't know of anybody who doesn't laugh their butts off at those commercials, and they show kids killing kids for crying outloud! This commercial lands in the same category in a way. Yeah, it is shocking, but there is a bit of a loss of intensity just for how much of a punch it throws. Maybe a commercial with stats and some pictures of the real injured kids, but to show this type of thing is a bit...ummm..."over the top".

 

 

I agree... that was pretty powerful.
