mad-as-a-nut 0 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Has anyone else seen that ad on Japanese tv where it basically is telling parents to hug their kids? Is there more to it than that, or is that just what it is? Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 My son hates it when that comes on because I hug him, whatever he may happen to be doing. Link to post Share on other sites

big-will 7 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 What's it advertising? Link to post Share on other sites
slow 0 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 This is it. Japan Ad Council click "全国キャンペーン" → "親子" Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 It's quite painful to watch. My son also hates it when the ad comes on and I pretend to mishear it as 'please smack your kid'. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Classic. Curious as to why this exists though? Japanese don't hug too much at all do they. I find that a bit sad. I like hugging. Link to post Share on other sites
slow 0 Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 No, we don't... I like hugging, kissing on the cheek, too. Link to post Share on other sites
Goemon 0 Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Which cheek? Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 What do all you/us westerners do with our families then when its bye-bye time? Hug, kiss, cry.....?? I think English people are getting much more huggy-kissy than they used to be. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 For sure, and more than a few are uncomfortable with it as well. Link to post Share on other sites
jstepp 0 Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 In the states, speaking for myself and a few friends but not limited to us, we are very affectionate to our family. It doesn't matter if we see that person everyday, there is still at least one hug and kiss per day, but no " title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" /> unless its "goodbye" for a long time.
