Whilst the ad is good and is pure fiction, you really have to worry about it's effect on different age groups. Adults know that it is not real, but kids don't. I read that children had nightmares after seeing this ad and it was banned as a result. Maybe this was true, but it is not up to the advertiser to ensure children that what they have seen is not real, that is the job of the parents.
