I meant to say _any commercials_  
IMNSHO, show biz is a hive of scum and villany. I just don’t want my kids caught up in it. Money isn’t that important.

I saw this commercial for the first time last night, and I hadn’t read this thread yet. When I saw this thread’s title, I knew _exactly_ which commercial it was going to talk about.

My answer to the question posed in the OP: no. But that’s just me.

I’m just hoping that the kid himself made the final decision to appear in the commercial, with the full understanding of what the commercial was really about and what it could possibly lead to further down the road.
