    I couldn't believe the irresponsibility of this ad ! parents and a kid wrapped in plastic ? Unbelievable . If some kid tries to copy this there could be dire results. I can't believe what I saw , Imagine from idea conception to finished ad , did no alarm bells ring , how many departments in all areas passed and stamped this with their approval ? Even in RTE ? What morons . And from a HEALTH organisation ? ? ? Will it make the Joe Duffy show ???? And the ad says the bubble wrap mimics being wrapped safely in cotton wool .......HA ! possibly --
    dead ! ! !

    Annoying but not the worst. Not as bad as those damn eircom ads where the parents see letting their bratty little kids go to music festivals, go to Albuquerque to visit Brett or whatever else as the only alternative to getting a faster internet connection. Whatever happened to parents saying no to their children? (not sure where that rant came from, must be subconsciously annoyed with eircom)

    That add annoys me, since eircom are the only provider that will ban you proactively if children in your household are trying to download copyrighted material.

    where a child under 14 years of age is charged with an offence, no further proceedings can be taken without the consent of the Director of Public Prosecutions.
