So so insensitive to families who have lost someone. Especially if the person was young trying to explain I want to get cancer to a sibling after the watching their brother or sister dying. Same goes if it was a parent or even a grandparent. Wording is totally unexceptional as believe me we all " get cancer " the same way as we " get diabetes get epilepsy or any of the other life threatening disease.. please have thought for the people left behind and remove this hurtful add .

I'm lucky at the moment that cancer hasn't darkened my doorstep but this advertisement is just so upsetting for too many people. I think it should be removed immediately.

How disrespectful to all those who have cancer out there!! Could not believe what I was watching the first time I saw it and now cannot watch it when it comes on because it offends me so much!

This add is offensive to me and upsetting to my children after my father lost his battle with prostate cancer...

So hurtful. I know the ics say that it got people talking but surely not how they wanted people to talk. Talking about how distressful an add is does not mean that the add got people talking about cancer

I had better not say what I think about the person who dreamed this up other than that they and whoever authorized it should resign

This ad is absolutely horrible. Really awful marketing and should be banned. It shows no respect to the people who are battling cancer or families who have lost their loved ones because of this awful disease.
