Government recommends lying to children

[Guest guest]

Anybody hear a recent " getmoving.gov " commercial? (I think that was the URL

- I'm in the car, just heard the commercial on the radio.)

So, this commercial, paid for by our government dollars, has a mother

telling her kid to look for her purse, running up and down the stairs and all

over the house to find it, knowing full well her purse was right by her -

just to have the kid to get exercise.

So, in essence, our government advertising is suggesting it's okay to LIE

to kids to get them moving. That's just WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. But, then,

our government lies to us all the time, so why would the government

contractors that wrote the commercial think it was inappropriate?

Anybody else have a problem with this? I think I'll be emailing them!
