I must admit to liking those adverts for... well, I can't remember obv, some bank thing... with the kids going 'I would have an office in the North Pole - with some polar bears and some penguins. And maybe some Eskimos except they're really called Inuits.' That kind of thing.

I didn't mind them actually, maybe it's the audience which really irritates me.

Yes, the audience are the very irritating part of these things. Kids saying funny/dumb/odd things is generally at least thought-provoking, but the audiences always deserve major punching.

i am not a huge fan of this kind of thing, people laughing at kids' reactions etc is just kind of condescending.
i used to hate it when adults laughed at me for my serious attempts at stuff.
maybe im a tad over-sensitive but i dont like to see people laugh at children, laughing 'with' and laughing 'at' are very different.
i am very careful to not laugh at my son as he tries to talk/express himself etc. we laugh together in fun, which is more important.
um.......yeah, i guess this is a sore point with me.

A thought-provoking example: someone (Mark S, poss) was talking about showing a Superman comic to a child. One panel was a close-up of the S insignia on his chest. The child wanted to know why Superman didn't have a head there. A new, funny, genuinely interesting thought, I think, suggesting some complex things I didn't realise about how images are read, and about things we need to learn as we develop.
