First off, I want to apologize to **Cisco** , the poster. I’ve been in threads with you you, and I like you. I just forgot that you had the same name as the company. Second off, the people that don’t see anything wrong here, I want to say that I’m not offended by the ad, I just found it hilariously inappropriate. I’m not advocating boycotting Cisco Inc. or writing letters to their ad company; I just took a spit take when I saw it the first time. It amuses me that they took it down from YouTube. **I** didn’t complain, but c’mon… there is no way that’s appropriate. Unintentionally funny, but not appropriate. ---

You can’t tell the age of the girl from the offending shot. You can barely tell her age from her first shot, but she is clearly over the age of 12. Even if you make a sexual connection with this ad, its hardly pedophilia. ---

I have to ask, how do we know it is the guy’s daughter or that it is even a kid? Becasaue quite honestly I am not quite sure at all what the crazily dressed girl on the pogo stick is supposed to represent. ---

It wasn’t a pogo stick. That would have been seriously wrong! ---
