I work in the Canadian advertising industry and I can tell you from experience the CRTC is mental. I once had a video game commercial almost banned because there was a 1/2 second shot of a character hitting another character with a snowball. Yes apparently we Canadians consider snowballs deadly weapons

Hey, that was pretty funny, although I can see how it might be viewed as violence against the kid. BTW, the Jays suck.

Go Expos!

I saw it last night - not pulled completely. Maybe not such a big deal after all.
I thought it was kinda dumb. Maybe a little too strong, but violent? Maybe they should have just shown a grown man being hit in the genitals - that seems to be okay for kids' movies.

It may not be the "violence" alone, but the violence to a kid used to sell something.

Not true. Just minutes ago, I saw this VERY ad on TV. I did think it was mighty violent, mind you. (I live in Toronto, and it was on Global [channel 3 for people with Rogers service]. It was in the break of The Apprentice.)

God, that is unbelievable. Sometimes we go a little too far with the regulation up here.
