Here's a recently pulled add for the Toronto Blue Jays, featuring famous slugger Frank "The Big Hurt" Thomas.
It's been pulled because it was felt that people might misconstrue the kid getting whacked with a pillow as an act that actually hurt a child.
I'm left wondering if any of Canada's so called "regulators" were ever allowed to watch cartoons or Carol Burnett when they were kids.
It's a friggin' commercial! And the kid pops up from behind the bed GRINNING!
Sheesh.

Today's society reacts against everything! Many of our friends are teachers and they cannot 'touch' any student, without fear of reprisals. I guess the big belt of principals are a thing of the past.
It's just so...silly.
I mean, it's a commercial! Obviously Frank Thomas isn't going around whacking helpless children with pillows...
Sheesh.
