Please remove the latest Jello commercials depicting parents threatening their children with caves and monsters for stealing"grown-up" Jello, they are despicable, children are impressionable and hear these threats – what parent cares more about Jello than the safety and security of their children – mental, emotional or physical? Marketers have become not only insensitive but bordering on socio-pathic, Ads have long encouraged selfishness but to add threatening and dangerous to selfishness with children as the target. Marketers need to embrace social responsibility and their part in the deterioration of our ethics, compassion, generosity and at least some balance to our self-centered, self-serving human nature. Perhaps a boycott of the JELLO Brand until the commercials are removed would be useful.

I will be boycotting Kraft products. These new ads are abusive to children and depict parents as evil and not to be trusted. What is the matter with these people that are creating for tv and the movies now... What is this war against children we have going on in this country... It is sick, and the attitude of Kraft is sicker... If this is how they operate I hope they go down for it....

Some presidential movements are OTR, or off-the-record, to the public and press until the president's motorcade arrives at the previously undisclosed location.
