I don't know if this is on TV anymore, but this commercial drove the f**k out of me!



Do you agree?

(psssst! MrC! QUICK!!! redo your title before that mean ol' videomod catches you, wraps you in duct tape an' stuffs ya in the corner with a burlap sack over your head!!! Either put (VIDEO) at the end of your title, or use the video 'mood' emoticon)
 
 
I agree, MrC! This commercial REALLY bothered me.
 
When the kids were young, I was probably the very most paranoid Father on the face of the earth whenever I was home and had the chilluns with me. I would CONSTANTLY take them to places I thought would enrich them (nope - never took them to the bar). Didn't matter how many I had, it was always pretty much a case of I had a hand on everyone at all times; 'string-attached-to-each-other' wasn't good enough. Then again, guess it didn't help that the Dallas-Fort Worth area (Arlington, in particular) was also the #1 spot in the U.S. of Americo, for pedophiles, at that time. This commercial brought ALL of that paranoia back...

I think this is like the alternative for parents who take pity on their children and don't put them on leashes...strapping a monkey-shaped leash on your kid doesn't make it 'cute' (the monkey looks like it's trying to strangle the kid!)

however-I think buying one of those tracker things is something that you A. Keep to yourself and B. Do online

and what happens when the kid is older?! How would this mom react if the remote thing led her to a strip club?!

Does anybody else notice that the "child locater" in this ad doesn't actually do anything? The mom freaks out for a while (OMFG a white van!), the locater beeps for a bit, and the child comes back of his own accord. How exactly would the device have helped if her precious little snowflake WAS in the van?

I hate the name Kevin. So when a lady on my TV is screeching that name at me at the top of her lungs, yeah, I'm going to have a problem with it.  Plus that kid looks like a sissy boy, so a brutal abduction might at least toughen him up a bit, am I right?

I wonder if giving Kevin the worst salad-bowl haircut possible was also a weapon in mom's kidnapping-deterrent toolbox?
Notice how she lets go of the baby carriage to grab Kevin at the end of the ad.  Wouldn't it be cruelly ironic if (a.) the carriage rolled away or (b.) she looked back and THE BABY WAS GONE! ?

A Mom screaming about losing her son named Kevin. Reminds me of a movie I saw sometime ago; with paint buckets!

I've been a member of this website for a week, and I have already found countless of opportunities to use the phrase "nuerotic psychopath"...Kevin's Mom might be the sole reason for the term
