Why Parents Are Furious About The Controversial Eargo Commercial

While most people who watched the ad seemed to think it was hilarious, some parents were outraged, saying the commercial forced them to have uncomfortable conversations with their kids who saw it during daytime TV. "Lord I have to explain this to my kids cause we stuck inside and it plays over and over again," one parent commented on the YouTube video. Another wrote, "It's a funny commercial but not when it's on in the middle of the day with kids in the room."

Meanwhile, over on social media, one Facebook user decried the ad as "filth" because it used the word "condoms" several times during the day when "young innocent ears" could hear it. On Twitter, one person wrote, "How disgraceful, any word could have been substituted for CONDOMS! Most elderly are modest. Children, teenagers etc. don't need to be forced to watch this commercial."

That said, in order to find the angry comments, you'd have to scroll through far more positive responses who thought the commercial was hilarious. It seems that the furious parents who want the spot off the air are in the minority — by a long shot.
