[Darris McNeely] If you were watching this
week’s Super Bowl, in the ads, which usually
are the most exciting and interesting aspects
of the Super Bowl, there was one by Doritos
that had a couple in the hospital taking an
ultrasound of their unborn child.
[Technician] There’s your beautiful baby.
Any day now.
[Woman] Really?
You’re eating Doritos?
The father is standing there eating Doritos.
And the baby in the picture was still in the
womb of the mother – was responding to his
dad eating the Doritos, wanted one, and came
to the point of even coming out of the womb
early –
[Woman] Give me that!
It was quite well done.
It was very creative.
The person who did this ad was actually using
in the ad a picture of his son, who’s now
nine months old.
Now, the son didn’t come out looking for
a Dorito, but at least that part was realistic
in there.
Unfortunately, the pro-choice lobby – those
who advocate abortion rights – have taken
exception to this ad, saying that it “humanizes
a fetus”.
It’s unbelievable but that’s what they
say, and again, understanding even what this
ad brings out, of the reality of it, that
an unborn child is a human life and it can
respond to stimuli – maybe not his parent
eating a Doritos chip, but they can respond
to the external stimulus in the environment.
They are a life.
And I think that that was well-put by the
ad in a creative way, commercially done, but
well done after all.
In fact, it reminds us that it is a life,
and puts an exclamation point upon that very
fact.
God has fearfully and wonderfully made us.
We should remember that and understand that.
And we should certainly be for life.
That’s BT Daily.
