'barny' Advert Sending Out Wrong Message?
Just saw this advert on TV (hopefully link works) and immediately thought that it is sending out the wrong message to small children.
A stranger (Barny) arrives, introduces himself and asks the child to go with him which he does. Is it me or this a dangerous message to give?

Ok, I managed to see this by copying and posting the text link (unsure why the video in your post forever tried to load, unsuccessfully).
I see what you are saying, but I think kids can distinguish between a fantasy bear and an adult human being they don't know. It's clearly an unreal situation.
The only time I complained about an advert was when a company advertised encouraging kids to scream and the parents not to correct them. I figured there were enough poor parents allowing anti social playing without trying to get folk to believe it was ok. But apparently it is ok to try to create a less pleasant society.
