omg i saw that on tv earlier,its soooooooooooo sweet,theres 2 more i think that are out too
 
I hate to disagree but I am offended by them

To me, the adverts imply that it is OK to test things on guinea pigs and as I am against animal testing of any kind, I find the ads and the thoughts behind them upsetting.

Sorry - but thats just me
 
To be honest I think the advert is intended to be quite tongue-in-cheek. It pokes fun at the fact humans who are the first to do something are referred to as "guinea pigs". There are actually 5 of the adverts in total.
 
I think they are sweet I have got enough sense to know its a joke type ad, I am totally against testing 110% and find the ads sweet, they've been out for over a year now
 
I think those adverts are adorable. I'm against animal testing too, but the ads are meant as a joke, because of the word 'guinea pig' I guess. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, I think they're cute :)
 
I think they're great. I love watching them. Especially the one with the little pig playing on the floor. I'd get a mint card just because of the adverts. ;D
 
The one where the 2 piggies are water sking at the end had a piggie that looks like Brandy ;D

We don't get them out here but someone once sent me a link to watch the first one, very very cute :)

If anyone has the links for me to watch the others i'd really appreciate it, ta
 
I just cant see what the rest of you can - how strange.
Even if it is meant as a joke, i dont think you should joke about these things.

Dont get me wrong - the piggers look adorable but ... maybe I'm just taking it all too seriously

Adverts are very powerful tools thats all and I was worried about the message they were sending out about testing things on guinea pigs

Fair enough comment, but it really is supposed to be tongue in cheek i've spoken to a girl whose
in advertising and she said that it's a quirky/fun look at life thru a gp's life. It's also not advocating testing on any animals, my friend is in her early 20's and she is soooooooo against that. She will not deal with people who do this intentionally.
 
Ok then

I think it was something in the narrative that made me feel the way I do - the images are lovely

I'll shut up now
