New Motrin Commercial Upsets Baby Wearing Moms

Last weekend, Johnson & Johnson posted an online commercial for Motrin.  They were trying to say that this pain reliever will help you get rid of the pain you get from baby wearing.  The narrator describes babywearing by saying that "supposedly it's a real bonding experience" and describes that baby wearing is the new hip thing to do.  She also says that babywearing makes you look like an "official mom". Many moms agreed that this ad was offensive & it was removed.  A rep for Johnson & Johnson (who is a mother herself) has issued an apology for the ad, saying that they did not mean to offend moms through their advertising.

I think that this ad is completely stupid, especially because she is saying that there are so many kinds of carriers and they will all hurt you which is obviously not true.  What are your thoughts...Is this video offensive to you?
