And it is also not OK for tiny children to have sexualized behavior presented to them as normal behavior for their age group. If the teacher had been comically/obviously unattractive, and the kid were seen as responding to qualities other than the teacher's sexuality, then it might have been cute. In other words, if the little boy adored his teacher because she was a wonderful person...despite her homeliness, then it would have been cute and endearing. But to suggest that little boys are supposed to recognize... and go after... a hot lookin' derriere .... well, it's not OK.
The commercial didn't show anything of the sort. You must not have actually looked at it. It was short and cute, not a damn movie, and only a sick mind could take a momentary back shot of a woman in a long skirt and say that there's anything sexual whatsoever about it.

The only thing I picked up on was the Little Casanova image of the little boy giving out gifts to all the girls. that would not happen. Kids that age still think the opposite sex has cooties and are not interested in even mixing the sexes socially, much less pursuing them with gifts.

^^^^^This. The baby pimp/dumb girls angle was offensive. They can show him being genuine and it would have been adorable but they went passive aggressive so, it failed.

I had a wicked crush on my 6th grade teacher, Robert Salamone.

(You name it .. I'm it!)

Just a 'cute' boy with a crush on his teacher!

Looks to me like the 'crush' was on the tight skirt!
I see nothing wrong with this commercial it is a boy giving presents to the cute girls in his class

Okay, the only one of those shows I watch is Bones (first 4 seasons only) and I only watch it on TNT, not Fox, so that's why I probably haven't seen it. I was thinking maybe it was on during some type of sports coverage (baseball, football, basketball, hockey, racing) and maybe something on the Comedy channel or Spike and they were targeting the young male audience.

I have never seen that commercial until now and I do not like it...at all. I know it is just a little boy and all of that good stuff.

I think it is improper and the first thing I thought of was the case of the female teacher/male student sex scandal.

Can you imagine if the roles were reversed and there was a male teacher and female student? That would just not work, I don't think.....

Now THIS is something real to be upset about. That's true sexualization of kids. Not so the commercial.

I didn't look at the clip. I just saw the picture. I had to go back to look at it again before I realized there were kids in the picture also.
