Believe me, the little M&M pulling off his candy coating is tame.
Yeah, it was "tame" enough that the background song got a six year old suspended.
Commercials now are more adult than I was a kid.
Yeah! I'm 50 and I remember the commercial of the Playtex Cross-Your-Heart bra that "lifts and separates". Not much left to the imagination there and it didn't get much more adult than that. And I won't even bother going into the panty commercials of the day much less the beginnings of the female hygiene products.
Victoria's Secret commercials are just glitzed up compared to the old days.
I'm just a little peeved that the people in this school are so ignorant of today's culture that they're going to punish this poor kid simply for saying what he heard in an M&M commercial.
I'm also disappointed that people don't seem to realize where this kid heard this song. It is "old" in that it's had it's heyday. It ran it's course and it's already "old" in the music industry. Two weeks was it in January and then it was gone. That's the life expectancy these days on the radio. There's always something new coming out.
If the teachers and schools truly wanted to do something productive they would confront M&M over the whole thing and have the commercial removed or restricted to air time instead of punishing the kid.
His indoctrination has commenced. You don't have freedom of speech. You have controlled speech and you better get used to it.
I agree! You know, when I was real little... bra commercials had models wearing black turtlenecks sweaters with the bra on the outside. Or, there was some sort of torso seamstress plastic model with the bra on it. How far we have come, huh? This child was just repeating what he had heard. He wasn’t sexually molesting the other child (probably just singing and playing). What annoys me is that in high school, his counseling office with have a little basket loaded with condoms (out in the open). School teachers are offended by words but not with what their curriculum actually teaches them.
