Soccer’s a good excuse for beating up dogs There’s junior-high-school humor at work in four TV spots that Adland has tracked down, all with the same general disturbing theme: soccer and violence against dogs.

There's never any excuse for beating up dogs, please don't promote this crap on your Web site.

Subtle commentary on how creatives (dogs) feel when AEs (the boys/men) pummel them with a blind devotion to the client (soccer ball) -to the horror of the target market (onlookers).

It's textbook.

Either that, or none of them were hugged enough by their mothers.

Please do not show us anything edgy - lest we be forced to recognize something that makes us uncomfortable.

Take us back to the old days when everything was clean and wholesome, then we can get our dogs to fetch our slippers, the woman back into the kitchen, and the colored folks out of our suburbs.

Manavision, you've got some nerve. I can only agree with the last 2 points.
