Interesting.
I saw the commercial but I'm afraid i dont really see what the big deal is.
Your not the first person to have such a negative reaction that i have seen though so perhaps would you explain?
Before it comes up no i have no children and im not a nationwide customer.

That cleared nothing up for me.
I get that you care about your children more than anything and that commercials play to that very common ideal.(your dove example)
What i am missing is how its offensive.
I mean they are appealing to your fear but that's kinda the whole point of insurance right?
In case something terrible happens?

In case something terrible happens... to someone's kids. That's not something people like to contemplate, especially when watching the Super Bowl with his children. I'm trying to think of an appropriate analogy.
"Preventable injuries around the home are the leading cause of childhood deaths in America. Most people don't know that. Nationwide ran an ad during the Super Bowl that started a fierce conversation. The sole purpose of this message was to start a conversation, not sell insurance."
"We want to build awareness of an issue that is near and dear to all of us — the safety and well being of our children. We knew the ad would spur a variety of reactions. In fact, thousands of people visited MakeSafeHappen.com, a new website to help educate parents and caregivers with information and resources in an effort to make their homes safer and avoid a potential injury or death. Nationwide has been working with experts for more than 60 years to make homes safer. While some did not care for the ad, we hope it served to begin a dialogue to make safe happen for children everywhere."

I was under the impression they were selling life insurance for children,so they definetly did not do a great job from a television advertising standpoint.
Once i visited the website it became clear that they are trying to generate some good will and avoid looking like a giant scummy insurance corporation(lol) by saying they care more about your children than the bottom line.
That is basically what they have been trying to say for a while with their ads, and is pretty much standard for insurance companies
Nationwide is on your side
Like a good neighbor
You can rely on us
This particular commercial did it badly but so long as they pretend its all about promoting child safety they have a free pass plus lots of exposure for the controversy.
I gotta say points to whoever thought this diabolical scheme up and it will be interesting to see how it effects nationwides sales.
