We all know what they discuss about in the ad right? Unless I am a psycho or you are a hypocrite. Those children are not supposed to be talking about those 'mature' things or doing those 'mature' actions. They are still young and should be playing around. Ihatag na lang na nato sa ilaha ilahang pagkabata oi. Don't let them mature early kay panagsa ra baya na sila mabata.
Let me quote Erik Erikson's stages of psychosocial development
At that age, dili pa sila dapat maghunahuna og mga ingon anang butanga. Mas dapat maghuna huna sila about learning. And of course, enjoy!
You say it yourself, kids at that age shouldn't be thinking about those type of issues and the reality is they don't, unless if it's in the culture or it is forced in to their brains(no one is forcing your kid to see the commercial), it's only an ad that is shown on TV. Parents have the control over what their kids see so do not blame it on the ad. You have a choice if you want to watch that commercial or not. And we know what they are talking about in that ad since we are adults, not children. (If you have an open mind it is actually funny and crazy to think the kid is already thinking about it- it is highly improbable) The ad doesn't tell the kids to do it, if we are responsible parents then we know how to explain to our kids what the commercial was all about. We can tell them, it's just an ad. The point here is that why is there a need for Priests to go ahead and meddle in this kind of issue? Why McDonalds? Why not San Miguel Beer or the Smoking ads? Smoking ads portrays smoking to be cool, drinking ads portray Pacman as enjoying SMB? The ad has done no harm.
If you think the ad is inappropriate then switch the channels. This is a free country. And there are people who appreciate how cute the commercial is (people who don't take everything seriously).
