If people can draw the distinction between fantasy and reality, and apply that situation to either, then the ad will work. However alot of people can't decifer the difference between such, and instead of seeing it for what it is, it is seen as a vehicle for whatever debate for whatever reasons. Should it be shown? This one? No, and not because of the content.
The better ad would have had the crisis situation in the home, and more violent. That would hit home moreso than candy coating abuse against women by placing them in a context where they are least likely to be assaulted, the work place.
I understand the point of the ad in it's context, but it doesn't go far enough and doesn't need to be sold in that fashion. That's just not reality.
