Videos that spark a thought
« on: October 29, 2013, 04:37:45 am »
I just watched a video (sorry, don't remember the name) that had a little girl with a lemonad stand and she was bullied out of business.  To the rescue was a woman who beat up the bullies.  Now, I ask you, since when is it acceptable to fight bullying with bullying and violence?  Also, we have for so many years been trying to get boys to quit hitting girls.....seems like we are now teaching girls that it is okay to hit!  This just seems wrong to me.  I guess I found it offensive that the video encouraged violence.

I saw the same video.  I didn't see it the way you did.  The women's "fighting" was just a symbol for what the company does for the "little guy".  I didn't care for the add...found it silly.  But I didn't perceive it as promoting violence :dontknow:

I didn't have a problem with the ad.  It was a bit over the top but it was good to see the mean guys get worked over.
