Although some which IMO don't have a sense of humor find it offensive, personally i find it very clever and very funny!
 This ad has been criticized and discussed in various forums over and over.... But it is the reality as the majority of men see their car as their baby!

I'm as free-flow as you get as far as ads go, my opinion is "as long as I don't have to explain it to my kid, I'm fine" (you know like explaining to my son what Viagra is in the middle of a football game).
BUT......could we pick a chic that doesn't look 12?

How old is this ad? I swear i saw it perhaps over a year ago. Anyhoo...my opinion is that most ad-agencies when retained to do work on a non-adolescent brand have only one goal in mind: controversy. It drives more traffic to the brand than any other element. Although the ad-buyer was slapped by BMW, in this case, coupled with humor...it seems to have achieved it's purpose.

 ...and, Europa has always been less uptight about thatkind of ads/public displays, etc. Less phony moralistic/"values" crap there on the Continent, imo.
