Yeah exactly, the convenience out weighs the healthily. Though the economey isn't helping, most feed there kids the 1.00 cheese burgerz vs the 1.30 orange
So many people are really uneducated about what is in their food. A lot of people are time poor and think there is nothing wrong with quick fix food instead of good old fashioned REAL food made from FRESH ingredients. So if it isn't Macca's it would probably be 2 minute noodle type food for them anyway. Convenience vs health? Laziness vs effort?
3-year-olds are stupid. They'll believe anything. That's why they need extra protection. Freedom of speech is important, but surely they can wait until the little rugrats have developed half a brain.
While parents can control what kids eat while they're younger, it doesn't stop the ideas being out into kids heads. They're ask, they'll whine; Some parents can manage it, some can't. But when they're old enough, all those things they were 'taught' about junk food via ads will still be there.
My bro watched lots of tv & ads as a kid & was denied a fair amount of junk food. Now he's older he always buys Maccas, energy drink & junk cos 'he wants it'. He exercises, but the mentality has him.
can't imagine anyone being persuaded by this rubbish. which is a good thing, because it's the responsibility of parents to manage the media their kids consume, not the government,
Not sure what rock you guys have been living under but you really scare me! So indoctrinating kids is Ok? So lets bring on some more of that and see how it really fits... Hitler Jugend, the Chinese Communist party, Mc Donalds kids club..Kids are defenceless so leave them alone...
Why not get your little rug rats out doing a bit of exercise instead of bitching about Fast Food joints. A burger is fine, nobody said you had to feed it to them 3 times a day.
Nice to see the industry supporting violence against mascots. This looked like one of those weak spots that ad agencies dream up when they go on The Gruen Transfer - cliches, a lack of creativity, and going for the laugh, rather than actually communicating anything of value. I guess you take what you can get when the agencies are offering something for nothing.
You don't think this communicates something of value? Its a simple message stated clearly. Your irrelevant analysis helps paralyse action while Burgercorp laughs ...
No, I think the message is important - the execution is weak. Same old cliche, and a lack of knowledge about what changes behaviour amongst the target market. I simply expect more sophistication from ad. agencies.

For parents who let TV run there lives
I saw heaps of things I wanted on TV, I never got much of them
We can ban the advertisements, but this is only a simple solution, we need to address the real issue here, the parents!
I know this advertisement has good intentions, but I am sick of half assed approach taken on serious problems like this
And if we remove advertising on TV, they will find another way to rake in more customers

Hahahahahahahahahaha. Your link is even more tenuous than food ads causing fat kids!
Maybe if the dad had taken his kids to the park, they wouldn't have been watching the telly in the first place.

this is not a solution due to:
a) a large number of fathers being absent
b) fathers AND mothers not having enough time on their hands to play with kids in the park
Parents don't even have time to monitor what their kids watch on tv, let alone get them to exercise

So what is your solution?
If parents don't have time or energy to spare on their children's development and well-being, then they're not very good parents, are they?

Bugger that. Make time. We do. We got rid of the telly. Works a treat.
