Some kids deserve a smack once in a while. So you would not need to mark EVERY place

South Africans. Well-known the world over for their caring and humanity. Go to Shell.

If my kid "accidentally" mixes whites with colors, he WILL be beaten senseless.

THEN, I'll go to work on him...

@guest: True dat.

TheVuk, are you an idiot or just a teenager pretending to be tough?

I think this is a great campaign against child abuse. Very clever, great art direction and makes you think.
Check out the one with the pictures of animals to see a shit campaign for the same cause.

Yes.. let kids roam free and unpunished for sins. Then we we have a perfect society like in the uk, where bands of adolescents basically roam the streets terrorizing the public.

I'm not saying beat kids constantly and mercilessly, all I'm saying is sometimes a little tough love is required.

Now get of your high liberal hippy horses and chill.
