Well it's a little odd...
But I fail to see what's wrong with it.

If it was real animals, sure, it'd be wrong, but seeing as how they're computer-generated objects, I don't see what's wrong with it.

Besides, cars run over spiders every day.

In case you didn't notice, the "spider" is made of gas nozzles. It's a robot, and we all know robots don't have souls.

I hate that. It's like when I kill off my sims. That doesn't mean I would kill someone, or I would remove the door to a room, now would I?

Did that make any sense? XD

I think the first ad with the pig is cute.

The spider one is a bit gross, though, for me. :P

Oh, I love those commercials! They amuse me so. I always look forward to seeing them. :D

I think people are just loony if they think this is violent. God, movies and now this? They are psycho.

Or take away the steps to a swimming pool :D

..Though that's a tad less effective IRL.

omg You're not the only one who does that.

Once I made a swimming pool house with land every other square. I made them go swimming and then took away all the ladders. >3 They all died, including the three children. :(
