If, as I do, you watch CBC Newsworld, you will have seen this ad. A grown man (fortunately no women) cheating small children with offers of candy, toys and ice cream he doesn't fulfill. This is in the name of Ally Insurance. It proudly points out that even children can tell when they are being cheated! Frankly, with such a limited sense of purpose, I wouldn't go near Ally Insurance. On the one hand, even if one could see, or condone, how it was going to increase profits, using children, not only the ones in the ads but all those watching others being ripped off by adult shysters, is obscene. Obviously, it has either worked, or the public hasn't reacted yet. It continues, every few minutes, daily. I guess clients are offered a good deal, so who cares what damage it might do to children who already have enough to put up with regarding adult neglect?
