This ad sends a dangerous message: It makes it look like the
flu makes you huge. If weak kids and wimps see this ad, they’re all going to
try to get the flu on propose just so that they can get big and beat everyone
else up. But instead, they’ll likely just get even weaker. And then the flu
will kick their asses instead of the bullies, so there will be no escape for them whatsoever. Unless the flu really does make you huge, in which case, all the

I mean, why take responsibility for more than you have to when you can just
blame someone else?)
