And if you are opposed to strangers getting your child involved in their trash, then you have never watched Cartoon Network or surfed the internet. Marketing to children in this country is HUGE!!! Average American children see around 3000 advertisements a day on TV, the Internet, billboards, and in magazines and over the course of a year they view 40,000 television commercials alone. Industry spends an estimated $12 billion on advertising to children each year. More than 160 magazines are targeted toward young people and teen focused magazines contain as much as 45% more advertisements for alcohol products. Evidence also shows that the amount of advertising to children is increasing. Advertising to children - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maybe you should take that up with Madison Avenue.
