It's just a condom ad, and one I found very funny. I think don’t really think this should be seen as a statement on animal cruelty or French parenting.

I didn't get that the parents were busy having sex while the kid was going wild. I didn't get the point of the commercial at all. Must be my own cultural ignorance. :)<br/><br/>I don't think most Americans spend much time thinking about French parenting.

I agree - I'm uncomfortable with this one and many of the images (including the idea of promoting in the US the idea that the French are so focused on sexual pleasure that they don't parent adequately).

No, I think the point is that sex with this brand of condom is quite pleasurable. And the kid is using his parents' pleasure to his advantage by asking permission to do outrageous things at opportune moments. You make me laugh, Alice!
