Mad Men and our Children

Alex Bogusky welcomes special guest Dr. Susan Linn to the show. Dr Linn is an internationally known expert on the effects of media and commercial marketing on children. Aside from being co-founder and director of the national advocacy group, Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, she is an Instructor in Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, a psychologist, writer, award-winning producer, and ventriloquist!

Should we ban advertising to children? Billions of marketing dollars are spent annually to target a demographic of consumers lacking the mental capacity to understand the messages they are fed. Is this fair? Or are we brainwashing a generation of Super Consumers?

No government or corp will ban advertising for kids. To fight back you need to use counter ad terrorism.
