How creepy is it to promote child molestation in an ad for soup?
Child molestation is creepy and disgusting no matter how it's promoted; it's just that soup ads in the United States have traditionally relied on tropes about domesticity, and making them about the promotion of child molestation is CREEPY AND DISGUSTING!
"Have some soup. Molest your kid. It's the American Dream."
That's my paraphrase of the message of a Progresso ad.
