Well, as a young teenage boy, a few of the kid's moms were hotties but it ain't for commercial TV.
The Dr Pepper ad bothered me too. Yeah, the 12-year-olds will love her when she opens her stash of Dr Pepper, but in 4 years or so, she's going to have to buy kegs for them -- if she wants to stay on their "Cool Mom" list.
Stacy's Mom ping
Sounds like an abandoned, horrible advertisement. Symptomatic of a very disturbed culture. The one with the dad I don't mind. Sounds like the dad comes out more of a good sport than a hapless idiot.
It's the MK Laturneau audience they are after.
I found it a little creepy too.
The woman in the ad wasn't a public school teacher, was she?
I think both ads are inappropriate. Yet another reason we don't have TV.
I hope to one day have problems as small and meaningless as you do. Maybe then I'll worry about things like a Dr Pepper commercial like this.
I saw that ad and it hit me as "creepy". The ad people really need to take a look at the election results. The nation, as a whole, isn't interested in seedy innuendo during family t.v. viewing.
Scroll down, on the right to view the video.
The way the media has sympathetically portrayed Mary Kay LaTourneau, this commercials message doesn't surprise me at all.
Had a 30 something MALE teacher did the same thing with a 12 year-old girl, he would have (and should have) been burned at the stake.
But if a woman uses an immature, adolescent male for sex, most folks don't see it as much of a crime.
After the steady run of "male enhancement" ads on these games, this one almost seemed wholesome. But, I do agree with your point. There are no small kids in my house. I don't know how those of you who have them deal with it if they want to watch the game -- hitting the mute button? Channel-surfing during the ads? Don't let them watch sports?
How many young men and values of our society will be sacrificed on the altar of self indulgence?
Heh... You're wrong on both ads. First... It IS NORMAL for teen boys to admire beautiful women.
And lighten up about clumsy dad... dad's aren't under attack here, they are trying to be young.
What's an "ad"?
TIVO everything!
What creeped me out was how unattractive and asexual the mother was. The commercial made no sense at all becuase no kid would ever be hot for this mom,
I saw the Dr. Pepper Stacy's mom ad, but was disappointed because the mom in the commercial was not all that hot. The mom should have been smoking hot.

If you ever go to Europe, don't watch TV. You will be offended.
