Judge Grendell outraged at Bill Cowher commercial
Geauga County Common Pleas Juvenile/Probate Judge Tim Grendell waspatagonia r1 wetsuit jacket review3 stunned while watching the Cleveland Browns game Sunday, and not just because they finally had a win.
Although most fans were concerned about how the team would play after thpatagonia shop japane Trent Richardson trade, what got Grendell s attention occurred duripatagonia r1 wetsuit jacket reviewng a commercial break.
Former Pittsburg Steelers Coach Bill Cowher was on a Time Warner Cable TV ad in which a father is so involved in watching a televised football game that he suggests his young son go outside to play in a thunderstorm.
The judge was so outraged at the commercial which he had seen several times before that he mailed and faxed a letter to the cable company s New York headquarters Monday asking that the spot be pulled.
It s frustrating in this job because a lack of parental responsibility promotes a lot of the crimes we see in Juvenile Court, Grendell said. I saw the commercial one too many times during the Browns game. I know they were trying to be humorous, but I don t think sending a young child in a severe thunderstorm is funny. If I caught a parent doing that, it would be child neglect or abuse.

I understand businesses have to advertise, but they also have a responsibility.
Grendell said he is hoping to get a response soon from Time Warner.
Is there no one in your corporate hierarchypatagonia az property for sale who understands the reckless nature owomen's dark blue patagonia nylon full side zipper skif this commercial? Grendell states in the letter.discount patagonia ski jackets Is watching a football game more important than protecting the safety of one s child? Apparently, Time Warner Cable thinks so, especially if it will increase its cable revenues.
In the commercial, Cowher comes to the rescue by braving the spatagonia outlet store 12torm to tell dad not to despair because Tipatagonia r1 wetsuit jacket review2me Warner Capatagonia better sweater coat womenble will allow the family to record enough television shows at the same time that dad can postpone his self gratification long enough to act responsibly and tell his son not to go out in the treacherous storm. Thank heavens for Coach Cowher.
Grendell added that the spots promote an overall reliance on TV.
There is no footballpatagonia discount code virgin game or TV show that should be more important than loving and caring for your child, he said. I get to see the negative results of that every day.
With all due respect to the judge, this ad is part of a series of humorous commercials designed to highlight popupatagonia everlong review thesauruslar features of our products, the company stated.

If Grendell hears from the company personally, he said he will suggest Time Warner instead make a commercial about recording multiple shows to give parents more free time to spend with their kids.
In my opinion, parents do not need four televisions, Grendell stated in the letter. Parents need to spend more time interacting with their children, especially during their formative years. Read: Judge Timothy J. Grendell s letter to Time Warner Cable
