StealthPolarBear · 15/06/2008 21:48

I thought the SMA one was the "I promise to tell you I love you..." one?

Nah, I'm not having any of it.

theSuburbanDryad · 15/06/2008 22:21

I love the way that the baby at the end is being fed with a bottle, not a cup, as per the international code of formula marketing.

And they must have used a preemie or something, because if not then it's the smallest 6 month old I've ever seen.

Apart from that, it's great, yeah

but.....on the tin that they show, it says 3. now as a long since left bottles behind I assumed it was saying from 3 months

theSuburbanDryad · 15/06/2008 22:25

I'm not denying they're cute.

But the advert is abhorrent, sorry.

theSuburbanDryad · 15/06/2008 22:26

Stage 3 - at a guess 2Shoes. Although that's a perfect example of how ambiguous these things are.

Moomin · 15/06/2008 22:27

If you look carefully you can see that all of them have been tampered with using CGI and the laughing is not genuine; or rather they have taken a semi-chuckle and extended it to make it look like a belly laugh.

It's artificial and contrived.

the advert, that is, of course
