I want those sweeties!!!

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.
