This is the new TV advert from Better Together, the campaign to keep Scotland in the UK at the forthcoming referendum.
View this video on YouTube
The advert, first shown on Tuesday night, features a mother talking to the camera about her concerns for an independent Scotland: the security of Scotland's oil supply, funding for education, the way "there's only so many hours in the day and there's so much to weigh up".
She's also concerned about the way her off-screen husband, "Paul", keeps going on about the independence campaign while she struggles to keep up with the debate.
But some supporters of Scottish independence have decided the advert doesn't give much credit to women, branding the advert's star "Patronising Better Together Lady".
And in the process they've created a meme, playing on what they believe to be her spurious reasons for voting No.
Some people felt the advert was a bit sexist, since the woman is mainly concerned about household tasks while her husband talks politics.
Maybe I won't even bother voting. It's too much hassle. I'll let the men decide whilst I bake cookies in the kitchen! #PatronisingBTLady

Tom Johnstone@TomJohnstone93Others were very concerned about the welfare of the woman's husband.
And then there was the matter of her facial expression.

But even the most ardent pro-independence supporters would admit there are some unknown issues in this campaign.
