So where’s your outrage over the ripped-in-half car stories you see every day and the fact DD is promoting this, huh. Want someone think of the ripped-in-half cars? ---

OK, I’ve got your back. I saw this ad twice and only on the third time did I realize they weren’t gravestones. I saw the shorter version, too. The first time I saw it I was only half watching but thought I saw the “gravestones”, the second time I was like “No, that can’t be!”, and the third time I made out the lyrics, put 2 and 2 together and realized that they were mattresses. Mattresses? WTF? I think my brain saw “lots of white things in a row in a field” and just jumped to gravestone the first time and that’s how I saw it from then until I heard the lyrics and paid close attention. ---

You guys are complaining about gravestones in a commercial in which a baby seal is ripped in half? Crying over pieces of rock when helpless animals are being killed? How heartless are you? Okay, about further viewing, I see that it was actually a bowling ball and not a baby seal. But I thought it was a baby seal so I’m standing by my original sense of outrage. ---

Warning hacky comedy cliche to follow: Don’t worry society will survive. They didn’t rip the mattress tags in half. ---

How on EARTH could you have thought those were gravestones? I mean, even someone with a severely limited sense of proportion can see that the “gravestones” are bigger than the kids! I’m sorry if you only have one eye or something, but every post in this tread ought to be a lesson to you. ---

Even if they _were_ gravestones, you’re kinda nuts. It’s a commercial. It’s television. Are you new or something? ---

The OP said they saw the commercial on **TV** and not on the crappy flash video on youtube. I really can’t believe the OP came back trying to defend their position, instead of ignoring this thread and hoping everyone forgets about it. ---
