I think Lucky Me fails to convey the real message they want to give the viewers on the way they presented the ad. By the way, thanks for the good posts here.

So I asked my self, san nkita ng anak ko ito?while watching t.v, lucky me commercial was shown, at ginaya ulit ng anak ko yong bata sa commercial pretending to smoke. The message of the ads is clear for it reminds us parents to have quality time for our family, but little children dont get the message yet, for they imitate what they saw on television and kids pay more attention during commercial break. Sana hanggang Sept.28 nlng air itong Lucky me commercial. at first i am not againts the commercial, iam a working mom but since our office is quite near to our house, i always make it on dinner time. but what bothered me was when i saw my 2 years old daughter acting as if she was smoking. my husband dont smoke.

And since you obviously know they pay, tell them to pay others to make positive feedback on their ad.
