I was also annoyed by that when I saw it on a tram.
I don't think a pepsi advert is 'any use' it may not be specifically
marketed at kids, but I don't believe pepsi if they say kids aren't at least
part of their market! Besides which its on the side of a tram, somewhere
where kids will obviously see it and the clear message from the add is cute
fluffy bunny rubbish playboy bunny (and hence pronography) cool.
As a second point even if its not 'bad for the kids' you have a perfectly
legitimate grounds to complain on the basis that it offends you. I
certainly will be!!
