Babywearing?

Babywearing?

A co-worker emailed me a link to this article about the Motrin “babywearing” controversy. (And here’s the ad that touched it all off.) I guess Motrin has erred in the same way we did with our first cartoon a few months back – by underestimating the touchiness of the ad-watching public.

I have no advice for Motrin or for parents who wish to wear their babies. But I, and the Spokesmonster, feel their pain.

    I’m shocked that the add generated controversy. I thought it was logical and rational. None of it was shocking or offensive… I just don’t understand how this could have been… bad?

    Okay that’s twice in the last 5 minutes you’ve provided me with a true laugh out loud experience. (this and eating the cat) I heard your company is from Saskatoon? Perhaps it’s the quirky Canadian humour I’ve missed since moving to the states. Thanks for finding me on Twitter…. looking forward to hearing and seeing more about your product!

  3. Thanks. And you’re correct, I’m sitting in Saskatoon right now, where it is currently -24 degrees Celsius. Still miss Canada?
