at 9pm? I've never seen this ad. I block them, but the slogan has been around FOREVER. It really is nothing new. People are making a mountain out of a mole hill here.
It says 9 AM
Who else has seen this ad on ATS before December 14?, page 3
You have to have solid proof to constitute a fact. As far as connections, you are really reaching for something
that's not there.

Absolutely. The campaign started in the 1960's, ran during the nightly news in the 1970's, and 1980's. It was designed as was stated, to give parents pause to think about where their kids were before bedtime.
Over the years, the slogan has been adopted to multiple campaigns, to include the one in the OP.
I suppose the reason most of us find it innocuous is because we remember it from one point or another while growing up.
Without being rude to the OP, certainly you must be old enough to remember this campaign. I am thinking it just struck an old memory arousing that old feeling of unease these campaigns were designed to induce.
Perhaps, as a child, you heard this during the nightly news one night, and realized your own mortality. It bears an honest examining, at least.

We in the UK are also used to it, but we had drummed into us during evening Ad breaks on the TV from the late 80's onwards as I recall. Never batted an eyelid at the ATS ad talking about where your children are during the morning, I'm suprised the UK hasn't adopted such a thing though considering parents can be slung into jail and fined heftily for school truancy.
