Are we condoning behaviour like this?

Loading ...Many would argue that perhaps I am over analyzing the content of one of the newest Dairy Queen ads, but being the father of two girls, I can’t sit by and laugh off the theme of this commercial. For those of you who haven’t seen the ad, I have included it below for reference. Watch it first and then continue with the post.
So what did you think? Here are my thoughts. This girl is about 10 years old. The suggestion that she is mature enough to use her “feminine wiles” to get gifts from would be courtiers is grossly inappropriate. Consider for a moment that this girl is 15 and doing the same thing, would you consider it appropriate? Would it be appropriate at 25? or any age for that matter?
The clincher for me is the Mom’s lack of reaction to the girl’s comment “It’s like shooting fish in a barrel”. As a parent, I would horrified if my 10 year old daughter made a statement like that. Sorry, but I don’t find the commercial funny at all.
