Dangerous?? Illegal??

A Korean car maker, Hyundai pulled its spot commercial titled "Restless" after the Advertising Standards Bureau(ASB) of Australia banned it. As you see, this ad shows a baby snatching the keys to a car and riding it. Along the way, he picks up a girl who happens to be hitching to the beach. He surfs and she watches.
What adorable toddlers and how creative the ad is. However, ASB argues that the ad shows illegal activity and may entice youngsters into copycat behavior.

What?
As you have already experienced, kids love to pretend that they are adults. But they are not as stupid as those adults think. They know they are pretending.
Not to mention, kids’ cautiousness, even if a kid did copy that behavior he wouldn't be able to reach the pedals. And she wouldn't be able to write "west coast" on the cardboard. Moreover, is there nothing else on TV that shows illegal stuff?

Another good example showing how creativity is being killed by stubborn adults.
