Compact vacuum company Horsepower Duck is attempting to normalize insinuated profanity in its current campaign.  

The ad highlights the Horsepower Duck Ultra Compact Cordless Vacuum and its power to tackle messes at home, in the car, or at the office with ease. The messiness of this ad makes consumers uneasy when viewing it with children and families.

To capture consumer attention, Horsepower includes a whimsical song touting the phrase, “Duck It Up!” The word "duck" is an obvious play on words.

It is unnecessary to hint at profanity in any commercial, especially the f-word in an advertisement - everyone knows children repeat what they hear.

It is extremely disrespectful to families, and it is no wonder that the comments on YouTube have been turned off for viewers. Horsepower Duck needs to be held accountable!

If you agree that this ad is inappropriate, sign our petition urging Horsepower Duck to pull its ad immediately. Thank you for signing, and please share with your friends and family today!
