No it appears to be a commercial, a toy company selling toys.

It might be on: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr...r-viral-659308. Still think it's fair use, but the closest analogy, Campbell, doesn't involve product advertising.

They'll probably face some backlash over this based on the general response to the commercial. I'm 100% with the idea that young girls (boys, too) need to hear messages like this more often, but I'd rather it come from an actual person. The fact that it's naked advertising makes it completely different to me. Co-opting the cultures of the Beasties and feminism to create a viral ad in order to sell marginally educational toys that are manufactured in China isn't exactly my idea of empowering. I can understand why people would disagree, but I'm a cynic. The Beasties have been consistent about this, both publicly and privately, for a long time. Who knows, maybe they'll back off.

It's cute but indeed it's an ad.
