I actually agree with you, Dan, and think the likeagirl one was very, very good. I just didn't get the same message from the Nationwide commercial. It rang hollow to me. Like a scare tactic to buy insurance, as if that would help ease the pain on losing a child. That's all. That was my issue with it, not the message itself, which obviously we could all be more careful, etc.
The only problem people have with the "Nationwide" commercial is who had the balls to run it..
If that same commercial had been run by the Child Welfare and Safety Council, it would be taken much differently.
The message would be exactly the same, it's just perceived as a shill for "insurance", because of who sponsored it.
Which completely misses the point.
I have a three, almost four year old child, and a wife who is less "aware" of the consequences of the responsibility and vigilance needed around a curious, imitating, and reckless child.
She is 16 years my junior and I can tell she was raised differently by the way she is too trusting and careless about the way she lets our daughter do things with minimal supervision.
The commercial was meant to be a wake up call for slovenly parenting.
If it prevents even one accidental tragedy, all the flack they get is worth it, IMO.
I agree with Dan here. The commercial wasn't about insuring your family in case you have an accident. It was about preventing accidents. There are a lot of parents who could use a wake up call.
Overall I was disappointed with the Super Bowl Commercials. There were some good messages, but I'm watching Super Bowl commercials to have fun, not be taught lessons.
