Do you think this Joe Boxer commercial (showing guys in their boxers making holiday music) is offensive or appropriate for a televised store ad?

One of my fellow Jellies linked this ad on FB yesterday. I watched it with my daughter and we thought it was cute.

Today I read on Huff Post that many are saying this commercial is offensive and should be yanked from TV.

The link shows guys in their boxer shorts shaking their hips to the sound of bells chiming Christmas music. In other words, it’s like the guys “bells” are making the music. A young child like my daughter does not understand that part, she just sees guys in shorts shaking their hips. The commercial is for Joe Boxer, which is sold by Kmart, which is owned by Sears.

The comments below the article are mixed.
