When I was a little kid growing up the big scare was nuclear annihilation.
In my late teens and early twenties you couldn't drink the water or breathe the air. If you were born after 1946 you would die of DDT poisoning before you were 50; the population bomb threatened all the earth's resources; if that wasn't enough we were headed into an ice age. Pick your calamity.
Now this ad finds a new boogy man: parents. Its you Mom and Dad who are to blame for all the evils in the world. Adults use the kids as tools to mouth the words of the writers discontent. That is its own form of child abuse.
