I personally was offended by the commercial specifically because it continues to spread that notion among the general public that bicycles are nothing but dumb toys to be used only by children and those fallen upon hard times, and really only to be enjoyed by children. And when bicycles are viewed that way by the general public, I think that also is partially responsible for the lack of respect we cyclists get on the roads.
