I really have to wonder if anyone who has ever given birth sat around that conference table and signed off on that ad. Heck, just pulling your kid away from electrical outlets all day will give you a backache, too! I am glad that Motrin's company recognized its mistake and apologized -- very refreshing!

I am glad that Motrin’s company recognized its mistake and apologized — very refreshing!

I agree, how refreshing! If only more people in business and politics would do the same...

I don't think there were any women around the table during the development of this ad, which shows no understanding of how mothers feel about their babies. I wouldn't have been offended by the ad, but I think most of those ads are silly anyway. Like you Elaine, I give the drug company a lot of credit for owning up to their mistake. I've never bought Motrin, but I like the idea of supporting their efforts and may pick up a small bottle. This has been interesting to watch because I am far removed from my baby-carrying days.
