I can't believe this got made

The message here is that child abductors aren’t the stereotypical creepy guy in dark clothing, “gangster” black man, or a creeper in a panel van. They can be anyone—including, and especially, white suburban middle-class women.

Good message from Ontario (the cop is OPP). The only surprise for me is that they were willing to point out that women do this too.

The Amber Alert system in Canada is principally used against men only. They usually find pitiful excuse to not use it with mother abduction of kid.

Honestly good idea, needed better execution.

It sends the message that predators don’t look like what you think they look like. They can just as easily be an innocent white woman as a burly black man. Appearances are deceiving

At first it just made the woman look racist. I genuinely thought it was some kind of anti-racism commercial at first.

Reminds me of the film “guilty “ which just came out.

If you want a full that will have you punching your tv . Watch “gonegirl “

When women do bad things, it's a man's fault.

Or, patriarchy.

Or, "lack of access to resources".

But it's never her fault.

I think it's a great ad, it shows the exact reaction society has with men, they look like a scary rapists, but in this case, the rapist was the woman all along.

60% of child kidnappers in family are women and 36% of child kidnappers are women. I think this is a great way to display that child kidnapping is not gender related. It's crime, criminals.

Well, that totally taught me a lesson about my own assumptions and prejudices. Lesson learnt.

ManofGod1000 · 2021-10-19T23:22:39+00:00

At first, I thought this was going to be a commercial about how all men are rapist and will assault you sexually. I cannot be the only one that thought this, at least until the end.

Mr-X1 · 2021-10-19T19:36:22+00:00

Lmao.

veryniceguy1980 · 2021-10-19T23:07:14+00:00

ah but what did you feel before the punch line ? I seriously did not expect this outcome and had about a dozen other scenarios in my head.

BlackoutWalksAlone · 2021-10-20T04:20:00+00:00

Does anybody else love this commercial? I wonder where you can find the full version

GlassHurricane98 · 2021-10-20T08:26:42+00:00

It really banks on the fact that you'll assume the woman is innocent because of blind motherly instinct and nonsense. I actually really respect them for making this.

sgt_oddball_17 · 2021-10-19T19:33:30+00:00

What the fluck . . . ?

CuteHalfling · 2021-10-19T19:41:27+00:00

It’s a shit advert. Why were they all men? It’s clearly propaganda. Even if I agree women should be in negative roles just as men, I guess I just hate obvious propaganda.

Vidar34 · 2021-10-20T08:28:33+00:00

Does anyone have a link to the original video? Playing a vertical recording of a widescreen video is less than ideal.

edit: Never mind, Here it is.

ScythSergal · 2021-10-20T09:06:10+00:00

I remember seeing this on TV where I live. My jaw dropped and I was so happy to see it being addressed that ANYBODY can be a child predator/kidnapper

Baby_Bunny_13 · 2021-10-20T16:15:35+00:00

I'm going to comment, as a cis female feminist. There need to me more ads like this. Women can be predators and abusers too! It angers me that men are accused so often.

This is what is hidden behind fake feminists. Equal rights means equal rights. Equal prison sentences for women, equal custody for men, abolish the draft. True feminists are Mens rights Activists. Because equal is equal and nothing less!

UnitedTrenton12 · 2021-10-20T18:44:14+00:00

At first I didn’t understand why until I read the message on the phone and rewatch it holy hell this is a refresher

YaBoiFruity101 · 2021-10-19T20:59:23+00:00

Yeah I sorry but no, there's better ways to make an anti kidnapping ad than make a bunch of "Ooo scary men" just just you can pull off some twist
