Thanks for the opportunity to dig her brains. :) I was that particular blogger that Rinaz mentioned. How odd not to give me a link. :) I was asked for my views, I gave..... based on the recent hoohas on ads that tried to breakaway from traditional style. There is no right or wrong .... every one is entitled to their opinion and perceptions. From different angles, we see different views. I'm sure Yasmin wants to hear alternatve reviews as well so she could learn something from them. What is there to for her to improve if every one praise and commend her?

In the past, we been seeing all the "perfect and unrealistic" images of a family in the films and commercials. This leads to everyone having a false sense of how a family should look like. Ya, I mean the 2 parents, 2 children (1 boy, 1 girl) and a dog. But all the past commercials and films forgotten that the most important part of a family isn't about the completeness of the family members. It doesn't matter if a parent is missing. It doesn't matter if they only have 1 children or even none. It doesn't matter if they don't have a pet or don't stay in landed property. What matters most is that they are happy as a family. This, I guess, is the message that Yasmin is trying to tell in the commercial. I think it’s a great commercial.
