i feel like some of those disney clips are satirizing the objectification of sexes (by presenting the shallow girls in a exaggerating, mocking way). but i agree kids are targeted to buy shit from such a young age and from all angles. parents need to do more, but they can only do so much--as kids inevitably will want what their friends have. The world would be a nicer, less wasteful place if it weren't the universal presence of legal brainwashing (advertising), that perpetuates BS consumerism
While marketing is a bit out of control I think the problem is also the parents. Most of my classmates grew up plunked in front of the TV or computer to keep them out of parents' hair with little to no regard as to what they were watching. In some cases parents would set an example of consumerism by over indulging themselves to "keep up with the Jonses". One effective way to cut the whole thing down a size is for parents to set good examples for their kids by not overly consuming themselves
There is so much wrong about marketing to children that it's hard to address it in such a limited forum. As a society, we need to recognize that the more we are obsessed with consumerism, the more we become disconnected from nature and each other. All of society is hurt by the onslaught of advertising. It controls the content of film and TV programming and distracts us from more meaningful pursuits. It's time to wake up.
Yes but it would help if they started putting the characters on frozen vegetables rather than sugary cereals and other processed foods. why not? because they're not making enough profit on those.
Marketing/Advertizing is not something that should be in any form of business let alone be a business it self.
All it is is just mass disingenuous misinformative persuasion & without it imagine how much total word of mouth reputation would effect disreputable businesses along with their planed obsolescence products thereby forcing them to up their standards or sink like a tank.
Life would be so much better with out it. can you imagine? cause I can!

We spend soooo much time teaching and preaching that the important things in life are family, love, people in general - over things. WE can do all the good parenting we want - if the kid is being PUMMELED from little on up with materialistic crap, it is not surprising that a larger and larger % of them DO NOT value people over things. Advertising/marketing collectively is "overcoming sales resistance", or minimizing ANY judgment they determine to be even slightly contrary to 24/7 consumerism.
@Rumpl4skn agreed 100% AND I think they dont even value their property bcoz it can easily be replaced., When i was a kid, I was told and knew myself to value my things and never throw electronics suchas the remote or now mbile. I know many teens and buy new mobiles after 2 mths not just bcoz they want to update but bcoz its broken. I have seen them throw it around like a ball. The Y gen have no respect for anything including themselves and its directly bcoz of tv/film
@Badwolf182 - They don't value their property financially, because they are regularly showered with things that are immediately replaced, no matter how irresponsible they act. But it's the emotional connection, the "I have to have one of those or I will suffer socially" meme that is drilled into their heads... THAT is the true value they place on things. I believe they even begin to view people that way - the upper-class, attractive, perhaps wealthier friends are the ones everyone wants.

My son is 5 and my daughter is 2. They watch home movies on our computer only. We don't own or need a TV.
Unlike other kids their age they don't sing commercial jingles or recognize commercial mascots. They make up their own songs and games. They are smart and beautiful and very creative. Their minds are free.
This is nothing new. The last generation-(mine)-would immediately turn a new movie into a cartoon, a cereal, and action figures. I.E. Ghostbusters, Bill and Ted's Excellent adventure, Punky Brewster, Men in Black, etc. I don't know how I made it without getting brainwashed. This video is too short really to delve into this issue. Read adbusters if this sort of thing creeps you out.

I agree with most of what they say here, but I know from babysitting little kids that that Hannah Montanna clip is out of context. In context, those girls are shown as mean and vain for the way they act. (Of course, one could argue that those values are pushed more subtley considering almost all the girls on every show on Disney, and pretty much all TV, are gorgeous, but I digress.) People shouldn't have to dilute their message with skewed snippets.
OK - so marketers are the devil...I get it. However, as a parent, I take it on myself to decide whether they can market to my son or not. We chose to NOT have TV in our house (we have a box for watching netflix). I have taught my son that ads and ad placements are there because they are trying to sell him something - a thing or an idea - and that not all of it is good. We don't buy name brand, don't wear name brand.

@tlcanuck1 So you are going to keep them off the internet, out of stores, out of their friends's houses, out of the movie theatres, away from radio, etc., etc? Marketers are using technology like Fmri to plumb the depths of the brain to determine how to market at a subconscious level.
@tlcanuck1 Then too, what about all of their peers? If their peers are all commercialized zombies, it will be exceptionally difficult for your children to go against peer pressure.
@tlcanuck1 The point is that it isn't JUST on televisions, and as your son gets older, he's going to be exposed to more and more and more of this. It's everywhere. Some states are actually looking at putting billboard type ads on the school buses!! In schools, they watch Channel One, which is apparently showing ads even there - something supposed to be educational!
I am the same with only showing netflix or commercial-free TV, but these ads are EVERYWHERE and on EVERYTHING targeting children.
@tlcanuck1 Yes, but many parent's DON'T do that, and don't realize what you do. This documentary is made for them, and for us - to remind us that this is the reality of advertisement's affect on our culture. You obviously don't need this documentary, but millions of Americans do.
One thing that needs to be made very clear, Disney corporation has been the single biggest leader in the area of "branding" children.
The bastardized design of Disney World was even intended to push that agenda. Once they stole the company from Walt Disney they became very predatory.
this is sick. i look now, at all these "cartoons" that (if i were a normal average 13 year old) i am supposed to laugh at. They are pointless, dumb carriers for consumerist ideals. McDonalds, Wal-Mart, Disney. I look over this. I go to the store, and see con-descending advertisements telling children the buy is happiness. it is sick, it is wrong.
@biohazardousbacon you must be a kid then too XD anyways, whats going on isnt really what's in the video. its that the parents work too hard becuase they love/hate their kids at the same time. they lovee their kids because they'r buying them toys. they HATE their kids because their buying them toys. its hard to explain...... im so lucky to be poor :)
I am now 47 and People are soooo shallow today.. I was influenced by intelligent people how know about the world, far and close... LIke them, I still read and try to follow laws, as it shows that I respect others... I honestly think I am the last living person like that... I have no one to talk about the world around us, the real world... Every wonder how traffic lights know when a car or bicycle is at the light? Every wonder why the stop sign is before the crosswalk?
@cyclenut I am half your age, and feel the same. I know more about the world OUTSIDE of the US, then anyone I know. It's sad I have no one to share my experiences with.
@MrMerriTirpakcnieer idk what the heck you just said but i bet your advertising, and with the blah your saying, idk how your attracting customers :P ( idk = i don't know )
Love how the CCFC uses the Disney clips completely out of context. Those characters in the shows are viewed as the "villains". My kids comment on how awful they are. Just shows that you can spin anything to fit your message.
As for companies marketing to kids, parents need to learn how to say NO to their kids. They should be the front line of defense of crap coming into their homes. But why take responsibility, eh?
i would do anythign to keep my kids from watching all that Hannah Montanna Junk. No it's not Miley's fault. She just does what the script tells her to. 5 year old kids talk to me like they're divas, ending every sentences with WHATEVER. geez. When they do. It means something's wrong.
The solution can be simple. A first step would be to -Turn off your TV. -In fact, get rid of it. It is from TV that we are told and believe that chemical laden foods are actually GOOD for us, the message is sent to our kids that purchasing and having things are the way to be, then they mimic this in their own lives. Stop showing, stop teaching and you will remove the advertisers power over your children. People need to begin thinking for themselves and stop blindly believing everyone else.
It's up to the parent's to fix this. Up until the last minute or so of this video, I kept saying to myself, "So what?". Finally, at the end, they explain. But the bottom line is that parents need to limited the interaction between their children and media outlets and they need to teach their children to be givers not takers. Parents are far too uninvolved these days.
My experience you ask? I am a Christian Family Counselor and Mother of 2
I think this video makes a point. I think that if kids were given limits on their T.V. viewing and taught that material wealth is not the key to happiness, it may reduce the chance of a super-comsumer generation.
i think it's great to see this. It makes me feel very sane and wise cause i've been saying this for a couple or years. To my sisters and brother who all have kids. here in belgium things are gone very bad because of amricanized products and just well..shit all over the place. my own family doesn't see this but i sure do. I don't want to be a father but i'm actualy pretty damn sure i would be a good one. a lazy one. give your kid an instrument for fucks sake. let them listen some jazz !
@GrizzlyFist And who are you to save my children? What are your qualifications? How about you think for YOUR children and stay out of the business of me raising mine? Oh, and please explain to me the extent of your psychological expertise that makes you an expert. You say on your profile page that "Hatred is rejected, wisdom is respected". Well, please share your wisdom so that you may earn that respect.
@GrizzlyFist Of course it's easy to see, but you didn't answer my question. What are your qualifications with regard to the so called "agenda"? Brainwashing goes both ways. I know several "non-conformists" who think that everything must take the alternate stance. Your own agenda is just as offensive at the one you are railing against. Save the children? My kids are just fine, thank you. Again, you raise your own kids, not mine.
@GrizzlyFist I should also have added, that people like yourself are too weak minded to think for yourself which is why you have to latch on to these sorts of things and have govt/agendas step in to run your life. Grow a pair and teach your kids that things are not always what they seem and they can't have everything they want.
to gilgamesh1962 , thats the right way, i will do the same with my children! i will give them proper information, not disinformation, i will give them alot of love, and i wont compensate love with material things! thats just illusion!
As a kid myself, its pretty weird for me that many kids I know fail to see that they are brain washed by advertising and garbage....they call me crazy for saying that they are blind to see what is good..they can all love transformers 2 but hate forest gump...i was like the only kid to say that has to be on of my favorite films in my school!They dont even know what good music is!They all love rap but do not care for lyrics but as long it is loud!
Wait, so these people are actually bitching that others are becoming sensitive to the wants of children?
And they don't mention the duty of the parents?
And their solution is to ask the US state for guidance? An organization that has seventy trillion dollars of outstanding liabilities and hundreds of billions in debt, is supposed to teach children to act responsibly?
"Remember, kids: you can always pay the bills by taking out another loan. That way, you never have to stop spending money!"
I also see it as a call to action for parents who feel marginalized by the specifics you mention. I talk about it - to my family, my neighbors, my friends - a dialogue amongst citizens who have the power to shut it off. SHUT IT OFF! Take responsibility for your kids, people!
I'd imagine that, if parents taught their children to act responsibly, i.e. in a manner that gets them what they want, with due regard for both short-term and long-term happiness, and without harming others, then commercials would serve an unambiguously productive and positive purpose. And to the extent that they don't, then those children have much more serious problems anyway.
But yes. Turn off the TV every once in a while. It's that simple. There's no need to get the state involved.
@PanzerDivisionBOM I do agree I hate it when Government gets involved, but the problem here is the brainwashing of kids by marketing, these kids feel pressured into having the latest style, or ultimate gadget, if their parents don't buy it for them, they feel that their parents are losers, boring etc. kids get stressed, depressed, etc. My kids are growing up in the 3rd world, this years I'am getting 1 thing only for Christmas, ( Bicycle ) and they are super excited about that.
I'm not saying that this isn't a problem. I know that most parents aren't going to take responsibility for their children, because humanity just isn't that civilized yet. A lot of children are going to end up believing that virtue is a function of material wealth
If you think that this is a problem, then I suggest you converse with the people around you. Ask them about your and their childhood experiences. Think real hard about how you can best help your children get what they want out of life.
Agreed: many things are much better today. And those who question the accuracy of the trailer's depiction of marketing clearly have never worked in marketing or modern communications. I have for over 20 years. This is very much the modern model shown here—presented with concerns, yes, but the information's accurate.
Conservatives always talk about the halcyon days of the 1950s. Women, minorities, and gays were objectified far more than today. You had to run to a large city to escape the one dimensional attitudes of most of America. Children's entertainment isn't making boys tough and girls girly. If anything, the days of Cowboys and Housewives and gender stereotypes are less prevalent than at any time in US history. Most of these shows have multicultural multidimensional role models.
The late 40s - 50s was the true birth of "American" consumerism. A lack of housing prompted the development of suburbia, and along with it, devices and new inventions to fill the home. Electricity was now widespread, and credit was becoming more freely available. But what is particularly interesting about this consumerism is that it meant much more than having stuff. It also meant belonging to a culture and being all-American.
This video is full of lies and the producers will use shady techniques to prove their points. (Like showing a violent video game that is rated M and for adults to play) Nearly all of the examples that are used in this video are villains, where the show's message is NOT to be vain and one dimensional. Kids today have so many more choices and models. Being a nerd is cool. Not fitting in is ok. You can be an artist a musician AND a scientist.
Although I think there is some truth to the video, I do agree that they have more choices than we did. My son is very smart and isn't mocked for it at all. He loves school. In my generation, boys like that were picked on. Some of what has happened to society has improved. No, its not perfect, but it is more acceptable to be different than it was when I was growing up. Just being a minority was an issue when I was growing up. Now, my kids hang with all different races.
"No, its not perfect, but it is more acceptable to be different than it was when I was growing up. Just being a minority was an issue when I was growing up. Now, my kids hang with all different races."
I agree. Disney used to be the best when I was a kid. Now it's garbage. I wouldn't let my kids watch that junk (if I had any). Hanna Montana and High School Musical franchise has rendered an entire generation brain-dead.
@RedLipstickGalore oh disney was good when YOU were a kid??? thats a joke i dont know how old you are but disney has been pushing propaganda down people' throats since they started....watch the mickey mouse monopoly then rethink that comment.
@RedLipstickGalore I too loved classic Disney, but find much of the newer stuff far less interesting. It's all about the entertainment quick-fix isn't it? Frankly, the same goes for a lot of popular music. I may come across as old (I am 47 anyway, so I suppose I am), but the quality in lots of entertainment has taken a steady dive in the last 10-15 years. Dismal.
Disney has been the same consumptive entity all along... it was owned by THE NAZI DISNEY AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN INTENSIONAL METHOD OF MIND CONTROL. Reasearch MK-Ultra (look up Springmeier's books for a full dose and then the undeniable proof from there is infinite)
There is a place in Diseny Land and World (In the New Orlenas section of Epcot) where MK-Ultra Victims...
One of the other clips I mentioned runs from 3:26-3:37: the two characters on the the far ends of the table are negative role models and antagonists who always receive their comeuppance. (The character in the middle is usually a friend of the main character, but in this case this is a fantasy sequence in which the two of them never met.)
(Another example, London from "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody," is harder to categorize: she is also a parody of excess, even being so far as having a name similar to Paris Hilton- and the intelligence to match- and the clip shown in the full film is in a similar satirical vein, but the character is neither a hero nor a villain, more like comic relief.) I understand what this film is trying to do, but I'm sure there were much better example clips that could be used.
The clip from 2:30-2:50 really sticks out at me. The character of Sharpay from the "High School Musical" films is meant to be an antagonist to the heroes, not a positive role model, and the lyrics of the song are obviously satirizing excess- the idea of requiring expensive accessories just to go into a pool is obviously ridiculous. Two other examples of characters from Disney media shown in the full film are also antagonists in the same vein and, like Sharpay, usually get their comeuppance.
But theres still a disconnect; I think the majority of kids this decade (and being one earlier in this decade, I have personal experience) don't understand what compassion or open-mindedness means, at all. Playgrounds are battlefields of identities struggling for something, and they still grab onto the antagonists... young people love movies that preach fundamentally worthwhile things, but get afraid when they have chances to act upon them.
This is such an important conversation. Glad to see it brought up and in a well produced way. I think it should be very high priority culturally to address the issues of what VALUES we consciously instill in our kids (& which ones we allow to be unconsciously instilled via media) & the need for more DISCERNMENT & the creation of more Quality Entertainment with Healthy & Positive messages!
Wow. How disturbing. We unplugged our television 4 years ago and I haven't regretted it. My three elementary boys are still exposed to some of it, but that cut of 90% of the garbage. What a waste of time!
I agree. People think we're poor because we don't have a new car, cable, a new gaming system or new, whizbang gizmos. We spend more time talking and having fun together.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
along those same lines: Life is not about having fun. its full of pain, disappointments, injustices. to try to protect children from this will give a child an unrealistic and irresponsible world-view. they need a health dose of "real" to counteract "happily ever after" parenting styles. childhood ought not be carefree; it won;t prepare them for life. ALL marketing, in as much as it creates new desires is unethical. to point out flaws in one class of marketing is to miss the larger picture
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
number of points: consumer culture is not intrinsically bad. 2, parents imprint ideas on their kids all the time; religion, point in case. 3, children have little to no disposible income, so why are they marketing to kids? 4. more than 50% of advertising come through the TV. turn it off. 5. parents are the ones buying stuff. its not a crime to say no. 6, that children pay sales tax is the epitome of "no taxation without representation" 7 "carefree childhood" is a relatively new concept.
This is both insightful and hilarious. Never before have I seen a better example of the downturn of child-oriented marketing. Marketing towards children is not wrong when handled in the correct way. This isn't some despicable act, since I save that descriptor for worse things in life, but it surely is sad how the media has to surround kid life to get a buck these days. They have to bombard them with dumbass advertisements to get them to buy sub-par merchandise or bef their parents to.
shut up. There are plenty of americans who are against super-consumerism (such as myself) and would would do anything to abolish companies,like disney, who advocate consumerism for kids.
Some good news last week comes from the morally corrupt disney empire as sales have dropped 32%, I don't think I need to point out that Michael Eisner is a zionist now do I. Total vermin
Save your children. Beware of advanced research targeting us all, pioneered by the father of PR Edward Bernays, he was Freuds nephew and wanted to help his poor relative out this is the only reason you have heard the damned name of Sigmund Freud. Bernays also pioneered other evils as the doctors recommending cigarettes and flouride being good for teeth (flouride is an industrial biproduct of nuclear energy plants and aluminium plants) Please consider the list on the left side of my channel
I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm just guessing that maybe...just maybe the parents buy this stuff. Not the kids. When the kid runs the household then, yeah, could be a problem.
Well, that's true, but the most disturbing thing about advertising towards children is how it affects them psychologically. Parents can't be with their children all the time. They go to schools that sell advertising space. Children are being bombarded with this stuff all the time and indoctrinated into consumerism and they don't have our ability to distance themselves from it.
But parents who sit down with their kids, read to them, etc. , that's less of a problem. My 5 year old has picked up my sarcasm with respect to advertising gimmicks. I talk to her about it. Never think a child can not be smart enough to see through this if the parent is on the child's side.
I second that opinion. There seems to be a "dumbing down" or parents or complete disregard of parental oversight.
As a mom of 3 little ones, it is MY responsibility to KNOW first of all and then SET the limits of what is acceptable for my family and NOT to let those around me or even my kids make that determination. Be the adult, parent and not the bid kid!! Give your children defenses by establishing a standard.
Well, you used the evil word in America. "Responsibility". Americans nowadays really do not know what that means. That is why China will soon become the economic and militay giant of the world. And I'm really okay with that.
When the marketing companies teach the kids to nag to a point that parents are proven to break, I think there might be a problem with the marketing companies.
i feel like some of those disney clips are satirizing the objectification of sexes (by presenting the shallow girls in a exaggerating, mocking way). but i agree kids are targeted to buy shit from such a young age and from all angles. parents need to do more, but they can only do so much--as kids inevitably will want what their friends have.

My son is 5 and my daughter is 2. They watch home movies on our computer only. We don't own or need a TV.
Unlike other kids their age they don't sing commercial jingles or recognize commercial mascots. They make up their own songs and games. They are smart and beautiful and very creative. Their minds are free.
I was raised without TV as well.

I agree with most of what they say here, but I know from babysitting little kids that that Hannah Montanna clip is out of context. In context, those girls are shown as mean and vain for the way they act. (Of course, one could argue that those values are pushed more subtley considering almost all the girls on every show on Disney, and pretty much all TV, are gorgeous, but I digress.) People shouldn't have to dilute their message with skewed snippets.

OK - so marketers are the devil...I get it. However, as a parent, I take it on myself to decide whether they can market to my son or not. We chose to NOT have TV in our house (we have a box for watching netflix). I have taught my son that ads and ad placements are there because they are trying to sell him something - a thing or an idea - and that not all of it is good. We don't buy name brand, don't wear name brand.

One thing that needs to be made very clear, Disney corporation has been the single biggest leader in the area of "branding" children.
The bastardized design of Disney World was even intended to push that agenda. Once they stole the company from Walt Disney they became very predatory.

The solution can be simple. A first step would be to -Turn off your TV. -In fact, get rid of it. It is from TV that we are told and believe that chemical laden foods are actually GOOD for us, the message is sent to our kids that purchasing and having things are the way to be, then they mimic this in their own lives. Stop showing, stop teaching and you will remove the advertisers power over your children. People need to begin thinking for themselves and stop blindly believing everyone else.

It's up to the parent's to fix this. Up until the last minute or so of this video, I kept saying to myself, "So what?". Finally, at the end, they explain. But the bottom line is that parents need to limited the interaction between their children and media outlets and they need to teach their children to be givers not takers. Parents are far too uninvolved these days.

Well...
I'd imagine that, if parents taught their children to act responsibly, i.e. in a manner that gets them what they want, with due regard for both short-term and long-term happiness, and without harming others, then commercials would serve an unambiguously productive and positive purpose. And to the extent that they don't, then those children have much more serious problems anyway.
But yes. Turn off the TV every once in a while. It's that simple. There's no need to get the state involved.

I'm not saying that this isn't a problem. I know that most parents aren't going to take responsibility for their children, because humanity just isn't that civilized yet. A lot of children are going to end up believing that virtue is a function of material wealth

Conservatives always talk about the halcyon days of the 1950s. Women, minorities, and gays were objectified far more than today. You had to run to a large city to escape the one dimensional attitudes of most of America. Children's entertainment isn't making boys tough and girls girly. If anything, the days of Cowboys and Housewives and gender stereotypes are less prevalent than at any time in US history. Most of these shows have multicultural multidimensional role models.
jenneapolis 2 years ago 2
The late 40s - 50s was the true birth of "American" consumerism. A lack of housing prompted the development of suburbia, and along with it, devices and new inventions to fill the home. Electricity was now widespread, and credit was becoming more freely available. But what is particularly interesting about this consumerism is that it meant much more than having stuff. It also meant belonging to a culture and being all-American.

Although I think there is some truth to the video, I do agree that they have more choices than we did. My son is very smart and isn't mocked for it at all. He loves school. In my generation, boys like that were picked on. Some of what has happened to society has improved. No, its not perfect, but it is more acceptable to be different than it was when I was growing up. Just being a minority was an issue when I was growing up. Now, my kids hang with all different races.

One of the other clips I mentioned runs from 3:26-3:37: the two characters on the the far ends of the table are negative role models and antagonists who always receive their comeuppance. (The character in the middle is usually a friend of the main character, but in this case this is a fantasy sequence in which the two of them never met.)
mobo85 2 years ago
(Another example, London from "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody," is harder to categorize: she is also a parody of excess, even being so far as having a name similar to Paris Hilton- and the intelligence to match- and the clip shown in the full film is in a similar satirical vein, but the character is neither a hero nor a villain, more like comic relief.) I understand what this film is trying to do, but I'm sure there were much better example clips that could be used.
mobo85 2 years ago
The clip from 2:30-2:50 really sticks out at me. The character of Sharpay from the "High School Musical" films is meant to be an antagonist to the heroes, not a positive role model, and the lyrics of the song are obviously satirizing excess- the idea of requiring expensive accessories just to go into a pool is obviously ridiculous. Two other examples of characters from Disney media shown in the full film are also antagonists in the same vein and, like Sharpay, usually get their comeuppance.
mobo85 2 years ago 3
But theres still a disconnect; I think the majority of kids this decade (and being one earlier in this decade, I have personal experience) don't understand what compassion or open-mindedness means, at all. Playgrounds are battlefields of identities struggling for something, and they still grab onto the antagonists... young people love movies that preach fundamentally worthwhile things, but get afraid when they have chances to act upon them.

along those same lines: Life is not about having fun. its full of pain, disappointments, injustices. to try to protect children from this will give a child an unrealistic and irresponsible world-view. they need a health dose of "real" to counteract "happily ever after" parenting styles. childhood ought not be carefree; it won;t prepare them for life. ALL marketing, in as much as it creates new desires is unethical. to point out flaws in one class of marketing is to miss the larger picture

number of points: consumer culture is not intrinsically bad. 2, parents imprint ideas on their kids all the time; religion, point in case. 3, children have little to no disposible income, so why are they marketing to kids? 4. more than 50% of advertising come through the TV. turn it off. 5. parents are the ones buying stuff. its not a crime to say no. 6, that children pay sales tax is the epitome of "no taxation without representation" 7 "carefree childhood" is a relatively new concept.

Well, that's true, but the most disturbing thing about advertising towards children is how it affects them psychologically. Parents can't be with their children all the time. They go to schools that sell advertising space. Children are being bombarded with this stuff all the time and indoctrinated into consumerism and they don't have our ability to distance themselves from it.

But parents who sit down with their kids, read to them, etc. , that's less of a problem. My 5 year old has picked up my sarcasm with respect to advertising gimmicks. I talk to her about it. Never think a child can not be smart enough to see through this if the parent is on the child's side.

I second that opinion. There seems to be a "dumbing down" or parents or complete disregard of parental oversight.
As a mom of 3 little ones, it is MY responsibility to KNOW first of all and then SET the limits of what is acceptable for my family and NOT to let those around me or even my kids make that determination. Be the adult, parent and not the bid kid!! Give your children defenses by establishing a standard.

Well, you used the evil word in America. "Responsibility". Americans nowadays really do not know what that means. That is why China will soon become the economic and militay giant of the world. And I'm really okay with that.

When the marketing companies teach the kids to nag to a point that parents are proven to break, I think there might be a problem with the marketing companies.
