ok, so I am sure that many if not all ofyou have seen it by now - am i the only one that finds it just completely wrong and disturbing. i mean i get the message of the add, but i think that it is sick to have such pictures of a child, clearly distressed and screaming its head off, restrained, giving the impression that it is being forcefed alcohol. I am sorry, but that is JUST PLAIN WRONG AND DISGUSTING! ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Ewwww haven't seen these ads but to be honest, the effect they are having is exactly what they are after and if it gets people to be more aware of drinking or smoking while preggo then I'm all for it. (Mind you, what they should probably focus on is 'Pregnancy Awareness', that'd stop a whooooole lot of drinking while preggo!   )

It could be on any channel, Linelle.
I've seen it, and I hate it! After the first time, I refused to watch it. I turn away, or change channels. I didn't realise it was back on again. I think you're right, Kelly, that's probably the next step!  ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |
