adverts to be banned

If I was banning anything, it'd be those adverts for gambling that come on during any sports type tv show. And, even gambling adverts that come on at any time.

I hate all ads......manipulations to make you want what you didn't want before.....consumption has to grow, or the system will collapse!

....and they interrupt the programmes so noone has a concentration span of more than 15 minutes.

is it this one?

I think it's very sweet.

quite a nice story behind it too

I agree with you jocelyne
I think sugar is at least as harmful as alcohol,and possibly even tobacco, and we wouldn't encourage children smoke and drink.
Just my personal view of course.

I'm sure her mum is very proud of her but I'd rather ban yucky child actors.

Doesn't everyone love a 99 flake?

No

I can think of many adverts I find either distasteful, annoying and/or promoting things I disagree with!

I am less upset by the image of a child having a 'treat' than the adverts for sugar laden brakfast cereals!

You can' t take ice cream away from kids!

Danger here of losing sense of perspective, seeing a child with an ice cream is not going to make everyone rush out to buy one and subsequently become obese, any more than seeing a black horse running (Lloyds Bank) is going to make everyone rush out to book riding lessons.

I think it fits with the idea of Mum being 'magic' If Mum regularly bought ice creams the child wouldn't regard it as 'magic'.

Sugar as bad as alcohol and tobacco?

Next we'll have the police breathalysing us for ice cream and it being banned in public places for fear of secondary ice cream inhalation

Janea is a dentist, and as such should be allowed to tell us all off for eating too much icecream. The girl said she didn't want any more icecream after being made to eat too many for the photoshoot, so some good may have come out of it.
On a different point, do your grandchildren talk at that tempo? I'd be telling mine to hurry up and get on with it.
A Saatchi advert, eh?

I've got a couple of hair shirts here if you would like them.

She is supposed to be in musing mode! About her mummy being magic.

I don't see why anyone should be 'allowed to tell us all off'!
I didn't get the impression Jane was talking about dental health, anyway...

I hate the saying "get a life". Unpleasant put down.

Gransnet should not have any recipes for cakes.

Norty Gransnet!

Not really! Keep the recipes coming!

I have never heard anything so ridiculous as worrying about an ad with a child eating an ice cream in it.My first thought was; is it April 1st again?
So,Jocelyn I think you are on your own here, and maybe it IS a joke hey?

Sorry, Janea, I was trying to stick up for you. Not allowed to have a personal view. I agree, jingle, re "get a life". However, I may have jinxed you now!
