I didn't see a problem with it.

It's a commercial, fer cryin' out loud. What next - is everyone going to gang up on Chick-Fil-A because the "Eat Mor Chikin" cow advocates the killing and eating of chicken?

Speaking of commercials, yall remind me of the plunderers in the capital one ads...

I would get offended if it was a real bird okay??

No body would do such thing unless they are PSYCHO or HUNTER who wants to shoot birds....

ugh, I haven't seen it... I have no tolerance for that type of advertising or most advertising these days. I was really pissed off earlier today when I read a comment left on a video my brother had uploaded of my parent's bird...

My brother titled the video, "Annoying bird!" He's a young cockatiel that goes through his moments of continuous singing, and he happened to catch on video... most responses were positive some not so much... but someone left this one, which was the worst:

"if i was at ur house an that bird started i would tie up his feet and smack it around untoll it died"

I can't fathom anyone saying that about a bird, much less an animal. The visual I had of that happening made me so upset that I couldn't help but cry. Not only because it's part of the family, but any sort of cruelty, especially to birds hits me hard. If you ever read those stories on people that have rescued parrots from harsh environments... argh! I just can't believe people!

i have to agree with you here... i cant really see the point in getting so upset over an ad.. theres more important animal rights issues out there to be worried about

I finally saw the ad and I thought it was funny. Redbull seems to have no idea what their product actually is though. I remember for the longest time no one understood what redbull was because all the commercials said was 'redbull gives you wings!' with cartoon characters and that was it.
