Ford Motor Company has an advertisement for its Escort. It shows a mother going out to a rural area and cutting down a pine tree for Christmas. She brought her adolescent daughter along. The ad says she is setting an example for her daughter to follow.

The question is what example? It isn’t a tree farm because of the varying sizes so it is probably a State or National Park. If she didn’t pay for it as the ad suggests then she stole it.

Seems like too many parents already set bad examples for their kids to follow.
