Pros: Excellent video,very well done, explains the product well. Cons: The ignorant people who have pulled this commercial
I was thoroughly appalled when I got the e-mail from Epinions that Fox, ABC, and NBC had pulled this commercial.
My immediate reaction was to just go ahead a write an opinion without watching the video first, then thought there just might be some...

Pros: Good product Cons: none
I cannot believe that in our society today that everyone is not a lot more open minded! When I think about all the commercials that I sit through that show women's bodies - very up close and personal - I think this is VERY tame!
I know that a...

Pros: advertising a good cause Cons: poorly done to the point of being comical rather than serious
I've read reviews of this commercial and it seems that some of them are focusing on the actual product rather than the commercial. Per the epinion commercial guidelines, it says "Focus on the commercial not broader issues," so that is what my...

Pros: Gives Breastfeeding mothers support, Shows the "real world", Has good shock value to bring people to this site Cons: None, Except the fact that some stations won't air it!
I personally love the commercial! I'm a mom who has been breastfeeding for 22 months now, and it's about time that we get some recognition! I know that part of the reason Epinions aired the commercial was for the shock value, to get people to come to the...

Pros: Real ad about real situations for real people Cons: Bad production values
I can find nothing offensive in the content of this ad. No breasts are shown (not that I consider them offensive, but the general social contract says they can't be shown). The cat's involvement has been much overplayed in some of the reviews, I hardly...

Pros: Healthy, wonderful, true to life Cons: NONE!!!
Gee, a commercial about a breast bump that actually shows a, GASP, MOM ... using a ... GASP ... BREAST BUMP!! Go figure.
My gosh, you never even see this woman's breast in the commercial. I suppose you know it is there, somewhere under her...

Pros: good product Cons: not needed on TV
Maybe I'm too young, or maybe it's the fact my mother didn't talk about "womenly" issues in front of men, but I find this add disturbing. Personally, (and I mean just me personally) I find this more disturbing than the iMac ad. As an adult, I...

Pros: Nothing Cons: Too narrow of a target viewer base, too trendy
I didn't like this commercial, I am not even sure who the target audience is. The subject matter couldn't possibly be appealing to the average viewer. With all the sexually-oriented or similar "taboo"-related commercials in existence, it...

Pros: the commercial is what Epinions is all about Cons: there are ignorant "breastaphobic" network execs
I just read Epinions, breast pumps, and censorship by: Mike Speiser

and was disappointed to read about networks pulling the spot featuring the Medela...

Pros: Educates parents in ways to continue breastfeeding when mother is separated from baby Cons: None
This is an honest explanation by a nursing mother of what it is like to pump and feed her baby expressed milk. It's often the only way mothers (especially in the paid work force) can feed their baby breast milk. Breast milk is totally natural - God's and...

Pros: revolutionary Cons: none
Its about time breastfeeding, and breastfeeding preparation was shown publicly! I am saddened to live in the city of oen of the Television stations that pulled the commercial, and am even more saddened that public outcry would result in the commercial's...

Pros: Promotes Breastfeeding Cons: nothing!
Finally, a positive commercial on breastfeeding! As the Mother of a daughter, 28 months old, that I still nurse, twice a day, I enjoyed this VERY much!
Breastfeeding should be on TV more, for it is a natural, normal, part of life! Breast...

Pros: It is for Epinions.com, so it's got to be worth something Cons: There's a few of them
I can see a great debate arising over this commercial. Looking at the statistics, I see that this one is about fifty/fifty--that is half of those who have rated this commercial like it, the other half do not.
I personally do not like this...

Pros: Thoughtful review Cons: lacked taste for all audiences
Absolutely not! I do not believe that there should be any kind of even suggestive material going on the T.V. about Epinions. I realize that as a teacher of small children who do watch T.V, I am concerned about their welfare. Some might joke about it and...

Pros: Being a parent is really like this. Cons: The 18-24 year old demographic won't get it.
This ad made me laugh out loud. Folks without children might not appreciate it as much, but recent parents will immediately respond to the way in which the reviewer seems oblivious to the ridiculousness of her situation.
Parents of young...
