Bold child on cow&gate ad - mummy doesn't bat an eyelid

amdublin · 05-04-2014 10:52AM #1

Anyone seen the "feed their personality" cow and gate ad?

At the very end mummy and baby/small child on a luas or bus. The child grabs the headphones off the fella sitting beside them. Pulls the headphones off him and then grabs the phone and puts it into his mouth.

Mummy thinks it's hilarious.
If that happened me I would not find it hilarious.

Why does mummy not say no to baby.

She beats the baby half to death with his bottle off camera, is that better OP?

True.

But it's a variation of real life... I.e. Parents letting their children do bold things and laughing "oh so cute". Eh no, "oh so bold"

She should have used the one punch knock out technique for such an offence.

It's an anti formula ad, they are telling mammys that if you feed your baby formula this is what they will do. Breast is best.
That baby should get an asbo

No, a simple "no, don't do that, give the man back his phone" will suffice.
And a "sorry about that" to the fella.

She's training him like in black&white, Evil alignment Creature baby
He'll be burning down houses and stealing the sheep next

Haven't seen the ad but that child sound like a right c unt.

Does no one believe in teaching their children what is right or wrong these days??
(Or people think it's okay to grab stuff from randomers beside you on the train)

Won't somebody think of the children.

Ihatecuddles · 05-04-2014 11:02AM

Can we call the baby Teddy??

Can we agree on Bold Teddy?

Jebus they put a baby with a mummy, aren't they afraid of a curse from the mummy, poor kid bold or not.

Even babies don't like twats with Beats headphones.

I haven't even seen the ad in question, but I'm not remotely surprised that dunderhead advertising 'creatives' would produce something like that. They're exactly the sort of people who imagine that their little darlings - inevitably named something like spailpin or fuinneogg - can do no wrong.

'Oh, he's so fantastic at expressing his personality.' No love, he's just a little brat.

Are you sure you haven't seen the ad :cool:

I think you're reading FAR too much into this!

Watch the ad at the end.

Bold baby.
Mummy "ho ho"

It's probably a boy baby and part of the feminist conspiracy.

Grumpy Greg · 05-04-2014 11:24AM

laissez faire parenting is cruel to children. They need to be shown boundaries. It reinforces the idea that they live in a safe world that is predictable not chaotic.

In order to be 'bold' a baby has to know the consequences of it's actions and to decide to do it anyway regardless, knowing it would upset people.

Mummy should say no so baba starts to learn, but calling a baby bold is ridiculous.

What's all this "mummy" crap? Ugh.

Grayditch · 05-04-2014 12:01PM

If it grabbed my headphones while I was enjoying a lovely Megadeth solo, that kid is going out the window.

Pumpkinseeds · 05-04-2014 12:02PM

Substitute bus for supermarket/shopping centre or any other busy place and you wouldn't be too far off the mark. Fcuking kids running wild while the parents don't give a flying fig about them getting in peoples way, but hey, just so long as they aren't under the parents feet.

Don't even get me started on the gobs*ite parents who let their spawn bring dolls prams/bicycles/hurleys/footballs etc to said same places, fcuking idiots, it didn't happen when I was a child. Then again people had decent parenting skills back then, as well as a bit of consideration for other people.

Reminds me of the time a doting mama and her b*llix of a child got on the bus I was sitting in. Bus was nearly full, so not many extra seats -even so, it doesn't matter. Mama sits down with child on her lap across from me. Child points to my seat and says "I want to sit there". Now a reasonable person would say, "no, darling, that lady is sitting there". Instead, mama turns to me and asks can her child have my seat. Obviously, I say, "no".

I mean WTF? What kind of jerk is that child going to grow up to be?

It's an informal synonym of Mother.
