It is an inapropriate advert and is in no way indicative of the industry...completley out of touch with the reality of what the milk industry is about and what children want.
I have friends who switch TV channels and who are appalled that the Kenyan people have allowed such an ad. The sooner it is off the air and billboards the happier most people will be.

Hi all,

The advert's message seems to be out of reach and comprehension of the majority of the milk consumers and I have watched live toddlers themselves when the advert is flashed on the TVs, they don't seem to grasp any clue of what is being conveyed. I stand to be corrected.

Dear Tecira

In my modest opinion, I think is a great advert. The image of the hip-hop toddles it would catch every eye in Kenya, persuade reading of the informative and descriptive  content of the benefits milk. Is this campaign going to be published in billboards?

Kind regards,

Maria

Perhaps it's my age, but I have to say I didn't like this ad.

My understanding of the message is that if young people (those that like going to parties) drink milk they will stay young; however, seeing babies dressed up in glitter and bling, and thinking of all the associated rapper culture (ever read the word?), made me feel saddened.  I was also surprised to see some well-known companies associated with the ad.

Perhaps it's a case of a good idea - promoting milk to young people - getting in the hands of the wrong people:  change the advertising agency.

Subject: Kenya campaign for milk consumption - "Stay Young, Do Milk"

Dear all

Please find attached a clipping of a newspaper advert (The Standard, 18 July 2012) of a newly launched campaign by the Kenya Dairy Board and some large milk processors to encourage Kenyans to drink milk: "Stay Young, Do Milk".

I wonder what list members think about the image of the "hip-hop, bling-bling" milk-drinking toddlers... does this help to get the message across?

Regards
