Well, that's why I don't get the original point to begin with.
...
Ok, let's assume Unicef is just as evil as any other organization made up by human beings.
The ad could be shocking, but it's aimed to adults.
If I recall well, captions read "protect your children from war".
Not "protect your parents from themselves".
Forgive me for being so simplistic, but we can't claim that war is "good", just because we assume Unicef to be "evil".
...
Sure, it's hard for me to gauge the ad from parents' point of view.
You see, I don't have children, but I used to work with youth, and they were fairly jaded to violence, thanks to tv and videogames.
Only the smallest child could be shocked by that ad, and parents shouldn't allow young kids to watch tv unattended anyway.
Even then, they should be ready to explain what the ad is about.
[I hope few of you guys are going to tell your kids "look junior, that ad is cr*p, unicef funds terrorism, and war is a glorious manly enterprise", or something along those lines...]
...
Mind you, I'm no bleeding heart liberal, a Saddam-lover, or something like that.
I just resent extremes and mess, and war is as messy, and extreme, as I can imagine.
...
Now... if you ask me, that ad is pointless.
Adults won't change their ways, kids won't be scared by a harmless toon.
And if we start digging up old history, nobody is really safe.
...
Just my thought.
Don't fret it, guys: I might change my mind someday.
