Totally agree! Signed, sealed, and delivered! Thanks for sharing!

I find the ad placement inappropriate also. I’ve got no problem with the product itself, some people would love it – but not for general viewing by kids. I have a teenager struggling with body issues because of comments at school, and she has a lovely figure. Self esteem has a huge impact on our lives.

How ridiculous to show these ads during kids’ programs. Ridiculous contraptions in any case. No wonder girls and women battle with body image. Sick society we live in 🙁

I think that it is probably targeting the parents – but shouldn’t be on a kids network.

Then you see the petition page is full of comment’s saying to this mum, why is your kid still up at 8:15pm lol they way they are having a go at her you would think this kid was still up at 3 in the morning! 😮

It’s either clever marketing targeting the audience of “out of shape” mothers or just poorly thought through scheduling by the station

How rediculous to put that on a kids channel.

I have not seen the ad on TV, do not watch much commercial TV.

I don’t think these contraptions should be sold full stop. Why would you want to deform yourself with one of these things anyway. And to advertise these during a children’s film definitely not right.

I definetly agree. Children particular girls already have so much pressure about body image.

I think that these ads should not be aired during any childrens programming no matter what time of day the program is aired.

And this is a big reason why my kids watch DVDs, not TV.

I agree these ads should be banned during children’s tv programs.

There are a lot of things advertised during childrens’ programs that never should be. A relative of mine contacted a TV channel after her 4 year old had been watching a childrens program and saw an ad. for condons. She asked her where she had heard at word and Miss 4 replied on ……….(the name of the kids TV show.) It was even embarrassing for her Mum as she waited until they were out in the car sitting at traffic lights with the windows down and there was a Police Car next to them with its windows down. She knows the officer in the pasenger seat heard it becuase of the expression on his face. She got around the question by replying that she would explain later. They were on their way to the childrens’ Grandma so the Mum waited until they were out of hearing range and quickly warned their Grandma about it. Thankfully Grandma wasn’t asked. She was brought up the “old” school way and would have found that embarrassing. I don’t know if Miss 4 asked the question after the weekend or not. No doubt there has been plenty of unsuitable ads played during child veiwing programs.

Such a great campaign by this mother! I also have a gripe with radio ads – why are they allowed to promote Adult Shop ads during prime children’ s listening times? Utterly inappropriate!

Ban the product all together – it is simply a moey spinner based on exploiting people’s insecurities

  Well said! Profiting from people’s insecurities is a pretty low.
