If I hadn't been so lazy this week, this commercial would
have been perfect to post on Thursday during my ‘Throwback Thursday’ edition of
television advertisements.
You see, for my marketing class, we were handing in an
integrated marketing campaign to promote condom usage on Thursday and the
commercial below would have been serendipitous to post.
Of course I didn’t.
However, let’s pretend that it’s Thursday, the weekend is
upon us and it isn’t Sunday when we dread waking up early the next day to start
another long week of work/school/exhaustion. Optimism!
Below is a banned commercial from, I believe, France (bons
bons?) and it's absolutely hilarious. Although I can see why it was banned—the use
of fear tactics is not subtle—but it’s a clever way to get the point across. Especially clever if
your mentality is where the very idea of kids resembles the
child in this commercial.
Also, I used to be a nanny, so this situation is something I've encountered many times, and the biggest incentive to deal with a tantrum is knowing at the end of the day you're going to get paid for it.
The guy in the video, not so much.
