I also believe it's not smart to give children the wrong impression. I saw a cartoon the other day (Bug's Bunny) where the tortoise and the hare were racing and the tortoise took it's shell off in that one too! When I expressed upset at this, my friend reminded me that they also show people being hit with anvils and walking away and while this is true, i still think it's harmful to mislead, especially in a commercial!

: Yes I've seen it, I think it's for Ford Explorer.

: It's cute but could give people ( kids) the wrong idea about turtles/torts.
: Just last week the receptionist at my Dentist asked if torts could really leave their shells!

: I hope kids wont try to experiment. Like they did when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Tirtles were popular.
: Terry.
