BF-GF Commercial of McDonalds was pulled-out

Tweet

Here in the Philippines, there is one commercial from McDonald about a young boy and girl. The young girl asked the boy if she was already his girlfriend and the young boy answered no because of the reason that girlfriends are demanding only in turn that the young girl only wants to have a McDonald french fries. And the end part of the commercial, the two were holding hands while the young girl was holding her french fries bought by the young boy. Do you remember this commercial (this commercial can be only seen on Philippine Television, or maybe in YOu tube). It was pulled-out by CBCP or Catholic Bishop Conference of the Philippines because it sends wrong message to children. According to them, the commercial is very shallow and cheapens human relationship. This include this statement "If the ad attempted to teach commitment, (it failed) because it was too superficial to point to a packet of French fries as the basis of a relationship.". Personally, this is one of my favorite commercial. Whenever it is aired I stop what I am doing and I giggled at the part where the young boy is waving his hand and telling that girlfriends are demanding. As a woman, this commercial looks cute and I do not see any violation it caused. I start thinking if there is any, but if there is, I believe parents should be responsible for their children on whatever they watch on television. Like this commercial, children do not have the same level of intelligence compare to their parents. For sure if the children watch it, they will say "I want french fries too" rather than "is french fries the basis of relationship?" of course they will not ask like that. On the other hand, since CBCP is conservative with this kind of Ad and it was already pulled-out and i cannot do nothing about it, what about the other shows that connotes malicious acts, for example Going Bulilit. Going Bulilit is a Gag show in ABS-CBN that is airing half the decade now and I was surprised that we heard nothing from CBCP. Even some of the commercial with sexy bodies of male and female showing on the ads, if they are really conservative while they are not criticizing it? Or maybe they had done it in the past, that I am not aware of. I believe they should check all commercials of todays and not only that very cute commercials of McDonalds.
