M&M's Commercial

Humorous, perhaps, but it's worth noting the boundaries our advertisers are pushing.  I'm annoyed and a little soiled by having seen this one, but I wonder what the message might be to a child in the developmental years.  I doubt it's anything I'd want my child to have to deal with early on.  The comment (inserted in the picture) says it rather well.

Much of the media, from reality shows to neuromarketing, is sexually bent, a disappointing byproduct of ... what? The passing of years? Or the decline of a culture.  It has happened before. Figured out your own path yet?

Not only is this not funny, it's blatantly offense. What were the advertisers thinking?

I don't  think this is a good commercial for children to see. The candy is known to everyone, but this sets a bad example to children. Most of the commercials are good...just not this one!

Blurred, to soften the nonsense a bit ...

Update:  While I was stewing on this issue and half-watching the news, a bunch of women in their underwear were suddenly dancing on my TV screen.  I was watching the news on CNN, for Pete's sake.  I changed the channel only to come in at the beginning of the same commercial again.  It was before 8:00 in the morning, the time when kids will be up and around the house.  Have things changed?
