I was talking about the group, LMAO... that video. Believe me, the little M&M pulling off his candy coating is tame. Kids learn so much from television and commercials. Commercials now are more adult than I was a kid. I remember when my son was in 3rd grade and told a male substitute teacher that he reminded him of “Bob”. (remember that commercial with a man smiling all the time because he had found some sort of ED medication?) What my son was trying to say is that the substitute smiled a lot).

Yeah, it was "tame" enough that the background song got a six year old suspended.

Yeah! I'm 50 and I remember the commercial of the Playtex Cross-Your-Heart bra that "lifts and separates". Not much left to the imagination there and it didn't get much more adult than that. And I won't even bother going into the panty commercials of the day much less the beginnings of the female hygiene products.
Victoria's Secret commercials are just glitzed up compared to the old days.
I'm just a little peeved that the people in this school are so ignorant of today's culture that they're going to punish this poor kid simply for saying what he heard in an M&M commercial.
I'm also disappointed that people don't seem to realize where this kid heard this song. It is "old" in that it's had it's heyday. It ran it's course and it's already "old" in the music industry. Two weeks was it in January and then it was gone. That's the life expectancy these days on the radio. There's always something new coming out.
If the teachers and schools truly wanted to do something productive they would confront M&M over the whole thing and have the commercial removed or restricted to air time instead of punishing the kid.
His indoctrination has commenced. You don't have freedom of speech. You have controlled speech and you better get used to it.
