Remember when a "happy ending" used to mean something else?

We do, too. And Torch is dedicated to keeping your kids in the dark (literally, when it's bedtime) as long as possible.

An anthem spot and a handful of shorter ads Torch—a router that promises better parental controls over kids' browsing habits—provide funny illustrations of how the product protects against inappropriate search results for terms like "happy ending," "pearl necklace" and "tossed salad," which seem innocent to a youngster, but could easily lead down a rabbit hole to adult content.
