Scary advertisement

For a few days my son is so scared at night. We are very much worried. Persistent investigation reveals that he is afraid of the ghost telecast in a toothpaste advertisement that shows if the kid does not brush his teeth the ghost will engulf him. What a pity, is it the right way to teach something? We should not scare our baby since the fear may persist throughout his life.

I would request the authorities to ban the item and be careful about telecasting anything that may scare children.
