Depends what Mr & Mrs America will think of this but, as others have noted, it seems an ill-advised example to use for a full-court press. This is MOTHERHOOD they're messin' with; maybe the PR flacks who decided to run the tape don't realise the iconic nature of sippy cups.
Or perhaps they were simply not thinking. Again.
