To my Nana (back in the States):
Thanks for your comment, I guess. If I am arrested, you will be my first call (for bail money).
This company should hire you, as your explanation for this ridiculous ad is much better spin than its Marketing Manager could muster.
Here is part of her response:
"It was not our intention for the man in the ad represents the child's father, in fact it aims to portray this person as lacking parental skills, so would clearly not be a parent. The intention was for the man to be a family friend, older brother, cousin, uncle, etc who may therefore be uncomfortable with, and inexperienced in changing nappies.
...
The fact we felt comfortable enough to run this ad would suggest that we believe men and women were comfortable enough in the ability of fathers parenting skills, and able to enjoy a satirical play on those who aren't fathers and are uncomfortable with something as simple as changing a nappy."
This is the biggest bunch of nonsensical rubbish I have ever read.
