i saw the TV version of this ad tonight, first time. excuse me while i curse but
what the %$@! ????
the perfect mix of science and love ?????
we need factory produced fake milk in order to adequately feed our young 'uns ?
we need factory produced fake milk in order to adequately love our children ?????
yes, advertising presses our buttons
yes, it is supposed to
yes, that is how they sell us stuff
and it is mostly stuff
this one, though, is soooo overt. and i cannot stand it
mother guilt is fact as far as i am concerned. it probably shouldn't be but it is.
but they don't need to play on it so shamelessly
no child of mine would ever, ever, ever be given S26

  1. The easiest way out of this S-26 dilemma as I see it.

    1. Don't watch TV
    2. Don't switch on the TV set.
    3. Don't watch commercial TV at all.
    4. Remember the 21st century definition of commercial TV. That is where the programme interrupts the ads.

    S-26 what's it mean? You drink S 26 tmes or fortnighly per year?

  11. No Kylie, Bob didn't pour water over your comment. I think it's thicker than that! And Bob, knock it off. What are you? A comedian?
