Here is the one I saw:
Personally I found the ad to take a 'creepy' direction - especially when the cam started moving in on the kid and the weird, 'iconic' horror movie/tension music in the background and the fathers eyes widening like he was revealed as guilty of some heinous crime.More, "Heart String" propaganda.
YES! I hate that commercial.
Here's a fun fact, they had someone from the group that made it on Tom Gresham's gun talk and she lied about the age of the "children" used in the stats.
A listener said he already called them on the stat and they admitted to him they did use older "children" I believe the max age was 19yo and they explained it was because they still lived at home and had access to their parents firearm.
He was encouraging people to call in because it was obviously political and thus not something to be pushed as an ad council kind of thing and he felt we could get it taken off the air if we questioned it.
I also don't like the a hunting we will go song they play along with it, are they trying to appeal to people that hunt?
It annoyed me so bad at first I challenged it by researching with the CDC stat they claim to be using... It was obviously inflated as even when combined with drugs it was way higher then any data I could find. I'm glad that caller called in about the age range because it was driving me nuts trying to figure out how they got such a high number.
Yes teenage gang bangers are included in it.
One more last thing to add since you hit one of my pet peeves... Another thing mentioned is that death in combat will soon be used in gun death statistics by the CDC so....expect that to be used against us soon.
Thats disgusting.Have you seen this gem?
I bet you a beta soyboy or stay at home mom pitched that ad.Here is the one I saw:
