I like this ad, and I disagree with the criticism. We have way too many Hollywood starlets breaking up their families, for example, as if it works out hunky dory for everyone, when the reality is that wealth does smooth over some (not all) of the difficulties. Since personal trainers/make-up artists/nanny support etc. aren’t available to everyone, why shouldn’t we stare those facts in the face? Bristol Palin is in a unique situation. And it would be wrong not to acknowledge that.
That said, the next ad could address all the difficulties for a child, whether rich or poor, privileged or not, of growing up fatherless…
