Comments on: Motrin Mom’s. Who cares? http://www.brandsamongmany.com/2008/11/18/motrin-moms-who-cares/ Discussions on branding and creative communications in our digital world.

Interestingly, no one has risen up against VW Routan commercials which claim people are only having kids these days for "German Engineering." Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDZSxFLcMVg and wait until about :35- you can't tell me that just isn't terribly offensive. Give me a break.

However, I'd like to point out that my coverage was not "slandering Motrin" in any way. My focus was observing the interplay of consumers on a social network (Twitter) and the brand response to that. If you want to direct your readers to one of the many blogs that did engage in analyzing whether or not the ad was right or wrong in its content, I can certainly help you find one or two that might be useful examples.
