I detest this commercial, as I detest any commercial that thinks the killing of innocent animals is amusing. It's not. Making this spot even worse is it is for adopting children, so the first thing you show is a child's beloved pet being killed by a vacuum cleaner. What idiot dreamed up this idea?  And what other idiots agreed to make it into a commercial? In addition, I find this spot rather racist. Instead of showing the young boy being upset or crying, which is what would happen, they chose to have both boys do the Willie Best gaping mouth black-man cliche of the 40s. This whole spot is repulsive.
