Is this going too far?

My husband went to play Poppit on Pogo this morning and was greatly appalled.





They always set an ad on the background of the game. This week's ad is for Kotex. And they changed all the red balloons to red blood dots! Only the red ones. The others are still balloons.





The slogan on the background says, "No leaks while you sleep" and shows a girl with jammies on sleeping with her legs spread apart.

I can't believe this is acceptable. What will they do next? Have a viagra ad with little .......|||I know what your saying here . And I can tell by the majority of the answers here that it isn't going to go away easily . I did find out how to get rid of some T.V commercials . You turn the channel and the broadcasting station knows you did . If enough people turned the channel during an offensive commercial , then they will stop showing the commercial .





www.ccv.org/offensive_billboards.aspx . %26lt;-- I found this on google. Keep fighting the good fight Kris .|||You could make anything offensive.|||ok, so?......the internet is very large, go to another site if it offends you.....|||You don't have to buy it





Edit:


Great shot Mona Lisa|||I find it offensive that a grown man is playing Poppit on Pogo.|||Wow. Just, wow.





Rofl! Awesome, MonaLisa :D|||Why? periods are normal. Near enough every woman on the planet gets it. What's the problem?|||Oh, come on, that's not controversial. The old United Colours of Benetton adverts - now THEY were controversial:





'These graphic, billboard sized ads included depictions of a variety of 'shocking' subjects such as a deathbed scene of a man (AIDS activist David Kirby) dying from AIDS, a bloodied, unwashed newborn baby with umbilical cord still attached, two horses mating, close-up pictures of tattoos reading "HIV Positive" on the bodies of men and women, a collage consisting of genitals of persons of various races, a priest and nun about to engage in a romantic kiss, pictures of inmates on death row, and picture of bloodied, shot up pants and t-shirt of a soldier killed in Bosnian War. The company's logo served as the only text accompanying the images in most of these advertisements.'|||lol thats funny|||I don't know what you talkin' about...but I like Poppit. I don't think the color of the ballons matter to me|||Its pretty hard to make an ad about womens periods. It seems silly to me, but they have to come up with some idea. A lot of ads are over the top, even on TV.|||What is your husband doing gambling?


If poppit is gambling of course, I am assuming so forgive me if Im wrong.


Looks like a poker site or something.


And is Kotex a sanitary product?


If so...Whats your prob.


perhaps you should explain to hub that women have periods.|||Well, I wouldn't have shown the ad in a section for small kids, but if you're of an age where you would need Kotex pads, I could see it.|||What's unacceptable is children going to bed hungry. I don't worry about silly computer games.|||ha ha ha that's outtacontrol jack|||some things are sacred. yes that is too far. Don't give Viagra any ideas,,next we will have a man waking up with a kick stand.|||I think it's humorous. Why do we need to be ashamed of our bodies and their functions like uptight cronies? I think a viagra ad with a guy pitching a tent would be just as funny! Laugh and enjoy life and all of its idiosyncrasies!|||It would make me laugh.... They need to make special garments for guys that have wet dreams and then show an advertisement with spots all over the sheets of a guy getting woken up by his mom - talk about embarrassment. Heh, heh. That would be comparable. It would make a good laundry detergent ad, too.





Or make some reference to skid marks in a guys underwear-something of that nature.





The point is, it's a fact of life. We may all say "eeewww" when we see something but in reality we all have to deal with it. A lot of girls will probably but Kotex now because we hate it when that happens!





Hey, it worked - it got a lot of attention. We're all talking about it, huh?|||It's acceptable to someone otherwise it would never get put up there. This is not acceptable to me though. I have little kids who might see it.|||It is kinda gross I guess...





But it's a lie, they do leak at night! Tampax Pearl is the best tbh.|||You think this is bad. There's a lot worse to come.|||Sounds out of line to me.|||Yes, it is offensive to some I think and some people might complain about it.
