Dear BCCSA - here is a copy of an email we have sent to the BCCSA Good day I am writing this letter in my own capacity as Kevin Banks and on behalf of some of our parent on www.babymania.co.za The advert from Debonairs Pizza - saying WTF - What the Frikadels may be acceptable for the target generation - the teens and younger adults - it is not acceptable for young kids as we now have kids in our community who are doing this and it is mimicking swearing. This mimicry been shown in prime time for kids is showing that it is an acceptable norm to almost swear- now one may think that almost sweating is ok as you do not swear - it has however planted the seed in youngsters minds and there will certainly be progression towards swearing and speaking in a language that is neither cool or acceptable for toddlers. The advert clearly shows this as an acceptable norm and even slants a comical approach with the jesting of the ad - we believe the advert is unacceptable to younger viewers.
