( This is how i sent it to Viacom. I would appreciate if other parents would do the same. Usually I dont complain about this type of stuff but this commercial is un called for. So I am urging people to contact Ecko and Viacom. Thank You one and all.)

I would like to express my distaste over the Ecko brand commercials featuring Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens currently airing on the Nickelodeon channels. To me and my fiance those ads are very distateful and provacative. Especially when the ads show Ms. Tisdale "booty dancing and grinding" while my 5 year old daughter watches Spongebob at 5pm. Personally I do not think that commercial is appropriate for a show that is geared towards impressionable young children. Thank you for your time.

    booty dancing and grinding? She's doing no such thing. And what is Vanessa Hudgens doing wrong, sitting in a chair?

    This is a joke post, right?

      Don't remember seeing this commercial... Got any evidence for judgment? On YouTube somewhere? Guess I'll go look for it myself.

        She's so hoochy now. What happened to that sweet, innocent, little girl who guest starred in the "Amanda Show"? :(

          LOL

          If no one batted an eyelash when that Hudgens chick took nudie pictures of herself, I doubt they care about this.

            Sounds like I've gotta start watching Spongebob at 5pm...

              That's ridiculous. She's doing nothing but dancing to a song and wearing sneakers. I can't stand when parents in Middle America try to pick apart every little thing that airs on television and dubs it offensive or too sexy. Jeez. :roll:

                I've seen that commercial. I don't see anything offensive about it. She's just dancing.

                  I dont mean to be rude but maybe if you would post a link that would give other posters the opertunity to judge for themselves.

                    All I know is that is not the type of commercial I want my five year old daughter to be watching. Like I said there is a time for commercials like those. Not at 5pm on Nickelodeon. But us as a country have become very apathetic. As far as Vanessa Hudgens and her nude photo I believe it was taken in private but maybe it was leaked by her to get press I dont know. But the commercial itself is on at a time when my daughter is watching a show geared towards kids not some pic posted online.

                      Maybe you shouldn't let your little brat watch the Spoongebob Rectangular Pants.

                        Its better than most of the trash they have on tv right now tho. Hell she usually just watches Jem and The Holograms , She-Ra and Thundercats.

                          She's not a hoocy or whatever. Say what you want about her singing or acting but don't call her something she's not, just because you don't like her.

                          The commercial isn't that bad. You have got to be joking or seriously insane. I have the footage and we'll see what the other Retro Junkers think. Btw, Elvis does more hip shaking than she does and what is your definition of dancing? You do know you have to move in order to dance, right?

                            Just another example of American prudish behaviour in action, people.

                            Edit: video worked nevermind. But yeah, its people like the OP as to why the FCC is so harsh nowadays. Oh, and the video wasn't bad, once I get infront of my computer I can post links to booty shaking videos that are ten times worse than this.

                              I hate those High School Musical basturds more than anyone here, but come on now. There's been a lot worse commercials to pop up during the day.
                              And besides, it's 5:00, when most middle and high schoolers get outta school. That commercial was probably aimed at them. If this aired at say 9 or 10 am or something, then you might have a case.
