A campaign like that must be tough on kids, especially when they are being used as props.
I'm not sure whether you've seen this or not.
Insignificant observations caught on camera sometimes speak volumes.

Her face says it all. She was beyond livid. WHY?
Don't daughters usually revere their Dads?
She starts by flicking her fingers at him and then refuses his fatherly kiss.
Also notice how he looks to see if the camera caught what happened.
Here is that moment. You decide if I'm reading too much into it..

I wonder if God hears prayers that are being repeated over and over for a commercial.
