I think I am a great dad, good father, and fantastic daddy! I can't say I 'liked' this, but I won't say it offended me greatly, either. I found it stupid, but having worked with young people these past many years, they often like "stupid" a lot. (Have you seen any of the 'popular' prime time shows these days? It's a lot less 'offensive' than most of them.) I'm pretty sure if my 30-something daughters were still in their teens, and we saw this while sitting on the sofa watching TV, and I expressed my dismay at its inappropriateness, this is the response I'd get: "Oh, daddy!"

It'll probably be effective for its target audience, which is the idea. I do have to admit I DID find it less offensive than almost every other television ad for any presidential candidate that I've seen thus far. (They all make me yearn for the Hillary Clinton 3 a.m. ad!)
