Because 4-Year-Olds Apparently Need Legal Guidance

Every once in a while, a good commercial will break through the drone of sex-fuelled advertising to get my attention.  Nissan has just put up a great one.



It's fresh, it's different, and it's just like so many little boys out there playing with their toy cars.  I genuinely like it.  But here's my issue with it.

No, no - THIS is my problem with it:

Now I know it's a rule that you have to legislate for the dumb, to ensure you won't get sued because somebody with nothing better to do tried to duplicate your stunt.  But what 4-year-old boy that you know would take the time to read, think about and then follow the advice being given to him on the screen?

We live in an overly-cautious world - but for god's sake, can't we use our brains?  I am so sick to death of seeing "Dramatization.  Do not attempt" on commercials that are trying to be fun, witty and to actually appeal to some people's intellect instead of waving breasts or fast cars or dunce husbands in our faces.  Every time I see one of those warnings, I want to scream "YES!  PLEASE DO IT!  HELP THIN OUT THE GENE POOL A BIT!!"

Or is it just me?
