This ad has been shown so frequently that it has sparked a lot of criticism on the web with comments such as "I feel really annoyed every time I see this advert", "I feel like I want to punch that woman" and "Is this really an advertisement? It looks like it might actually have the opposite effect!"
The majority of parody images about this advert have been uploaded onto the web and ultimately, even a satirical song has been written for it.
