- My thouhts exactly when I first saw these spots. The first one

- oh, about 17, and is going to send the kid to private school at
- 25. Right... not in this lifetime.
-
- I kept asking where the real kids of these unwanted pregnancies
- were. You know, the beaten, abused kids. The ones that have
- the kicked dog look.

-
- I couldn't agree more. When they show the little black (or
- white) kid in the ghetto who is used as a punching bag by a
- frustrated mother, or the one who hasn't had a decent meal or a
- bath in weeks, then I'll believe that they are trying to change
- minds by showing all sides of the story.
