Your self-righteous words are far more disgusting and full of pithe than someone using words that are designed to vent emotion.

@CalamityJane,
Not sure which you are saying....
It's wrong to use children as actors in commercials or PSA's to make statements to adults, or only as long as they use language you don't like?
What about if it was a message by children to adults to remind them to vote? Or a commercial advertising a college tuition savings plan having some kids in their ads?
When I hear someone say "it's just plain wrong" it doubly makes me question if that's true.
Would it be ok to use childen in gays rights if they aren't cursing?
I believe you'd be fine with this ad if they weren't saying the word ****.
Are you offended by this.....?
It's using children to tell adults to stop thinking doing something like a girl is bad.
The kids already knew that.
Are they being pathetic?
As a woman, I want the right to say **** if I want, or not, and I don't find that pathetic.
It's a word. It's just a word.
If it gets someone's attention, that's a good thing.

BTW cj, why is it ok for you to say the word hell, but not ****?
Hell is a dreadful place, full of torment, and eternal suffering. Why is it ok to causally say that, but not ****?
Because it means sex?
Who came up with the 1 to 10 scale that puts words like bitch, damn, ****, hell, dick, and other words on some specific point?
What is the age where someone can say hell and it's ok? There must be a specific age, if you know saying **** is wrong, and hell is ok. Is it ok to say **** when you're actually *******?
Yeah I know that's sarcastic, but your restrictions are only for yourself. Especially when you make a blanket statement only "certain types" use that language.
Again, the ad is noticied, and talked about. You remember what it's about, and so it accomplished its purpose.
Chai, you're using the same exact argument I use against people.
I like it a lot.
Keep going.
The reason why people psychologically cannot handle those words, is because those words are the symbol of a strong-minded individual. Soft-minded individuals cannot handle the sound of your voice when it has a lion's touch to it. Every time you say ****, you're releasing a lot of energy - that energy scares them.
It's that simple. They are so bloody meek, they can't even handle a slightly higher decibel of your voice.
Actually, I watched and heard less than a third. I think somebody said they were selling tee shirts. I guess the ad missed its purpose for me, cuz I had no idea they were even selling something.
What about the young girl's ability to process this complex situation. Does a girl of this age have the emotional maturity to even comprehend these issues.
Or able to discern this...or are they in need of a environment of security?
I don't see these as mutually exclusive. I can't think of a topic that I wouldn't have discussed with my daughter at a level appropriate to her understanding. I think that knowing that no topic was off limits - as long as it didn't involve other people's private business - and that I would always be honest with her actually gave her an 'environment of security'. She's quite bright but my son has an intellectual disability and I think the same is true for him - on his own
level.
I agree that no topic is off limits....if the kids are asking the questions. I think the answers must be provided according to their developmental , cognitive, and emotional capacity to process information correctly. We don't want for the processed message, to result in internalized insecurities and fear.

@chai2,
Chai, I think you getting completely off track here.
I don't care what adults do and how they speak. If they use profanities in every second word, I don't care, it just shows me where they come from.
We are talking about children here, young children and they're exploited in using language an topics they have no knowledge of. If you had a child who was allowed to swear, so be it, it's your choice to teach your child these words.
This public video - and that's exactly what we're talking about - promotes feminism, equality in pay, etc. and uses young children who have no idea about the topic, to talk about these issues in the most vulgar and derogative language available, then yes, I take offense. Why on earth would they have small girls promote their cause in such a manner? As a woman, I find it insulting.
You don't - that's fine! We obviously come from different walks of life.
Get this: I am so strong that I can make my point without ever using foul language and if you think that saying "****" is scaring anyone or releasing energy, you actually need a bit more than therapy.

I don't think anyone teaches their kids swear words, they pick it up at school. They're not taught it there either.
