A Nonsensical Ad



This ad prefixes video content on The Politico.

Issues with this ad:
-"Hi, my name's TJ. I'm in the seventh grade…I like virtual games, but there's rules to stay safe, like you can't say your name." Well, ignoring the grammatical mistake ("there's rules…"), TJ just gave us an internet safety tip: don't say your name; thanks TJ!
-The ending shot states: "The Cox Family is net safe." Ok. So now we know that TJ Cox is a seventh grader, who enjoys virtual games and, apparently, lacrosse. Nice job! The Cox family is not as net safe as previously thought...
