    Just saw this on the telly while watching telly (yes during kiddie programmes!). What age do you think a kid would be before he/she asks: Daddy, did he just do a poo because he is scared?!

    Its a lego brick ad.
    For a lego game.
    For kids.
    Shown during kid's programmes.

    FYI in the previous game you could buy a bonus that made the animals in the game shít money. It's nice to see that they've brought this concept to its natural conclusion.

    There are toys that poop candy. Is that controversial also?

    I thought neither would be considered as such. Shows what I know.

    "Yes son, yes he did.." The end. I'm sure they'll find stranger questions to ask you eventually..

    I really don't see the issue with the ad being shown during kid's programmes considering it's a kid's toy.....

    I don't have any issue with it being shown when it was - the fact that it was shown during kids programmes made me laugh harder! :D These advertising folk do come up with some beautiful gags.

    My original question was more asking when would you think a child would cop what was happening?! Cause it is funny!

    I showed my wife - she thinks it's hilarious and brilliant. Advertising works.

    Showed it to my kid brother who went into a wide-eyed fit of giggles when he saw the "brick". He asked me what it was but I think he thought he was embarrassing me by doing this.. I think he knew exactly what it was and he found it to be the funniest thing he'd ever seen! :D

    Advertisers got what they wanted anyway! He wants lego and we're all talking about it!
