If it’s the ad I’m thinking of, that was my first impression too. They should have audience-tested it before posting. Another creepy ad is the one of a young girl for a children’s clothes company. She’s staring into the camera with wide eyes like a zombie and it looks like it’s posed like some secular ad company’s style. I thought about emailing them that it isn’t quite tzniusdik to pose a small child that way, but then figured they probably wouldn’t understand what I was talking about.
For a group that prides itself on keeping apart from mainstream mishugas, we seem to be losing our bearings when it comes to the ad business. Creeping assimilation?
