unintended result

I was watching television last night while running on the treadmill at the Y.  An NBA playoff game was on which I usually have a hard time watching while running on the treadmill because my body usually follows my eyes as they track the ball on the screen and I end up tripping over myself and making a scene amongst my fellow running-in-placers.  I happened to notice for some reason that there were several commercials that showed young children, infants, toddlers, etc. in the nude and in compromising positions.  Of course the products advertised were some sort of baby lotion, wash, shampoo, diaper, and what not but for some reason it caught my eye that they kept showing children taking off their clothes, or naked babies.  Now I know this is a huge stretch but I imagined some pedophile sitting at home scanning commercials on regular television in order to find these types of ads and this guy/girl would be getting some sort of a rise out of this.  Even worse, they could be recording these commercials, compiling them, sharing them, publishing them on the internet, making dvds, and cds, and short films of these commercials and in effect generating some sort of kiddie porn industry just out of your everyday commercial.  I suppose these commercials in low frequency would mean nothing to the average viewer but think about them spliced and edited to show all of the babies bottoms and topless toddler in rapid succession on a television screen, I think any non-pedophile would be disturbed and I assume any run of the mill pedophile would be quite aroused. 

 

Now I know you think I am crazy but don’t jump to conclusions so quickly.  Did you think the research and development folks at SC Johnson ever expected teenagers to take their Glade fresheners, put a washcloth over the top and huff the chemicals they ejected until they got high?
