To really dislike the iPhone ad of Parent filming a kids race?

[NumberTheory]

This is more of an AIB Unusual as I don’t really think it makes any difference whether I personally like an ad or not and I have no intention of changing my opinion if it’s not well shared! But I’m curious what other think.

I frequently get an ad for the iPhone 14 of a mum filming her kid in a short race where she puts the camera in “action mode” and runs along the track, right in front of all the other parents trying to watch and take photos, filming her son.

It irritates the hell out of me and reminds me of all those school performances I sat through with some wanker of a parent sitting in front of me holding their camera up above their head (and right in front of me) making it really awkward to watch.

Is this just my issue, or do others find the ad more of a negative?

I get the desire to be there and stick a foot out to trip her up.

Yep I feel this. There's one mother in particular from my daughter's class I feel like yanking the phone from her hand when she's waving it around constantly.
