Reply #165: So what about products that are targeted towards children?

[Atman]

Toys, breakfast cereals, Wheelies...WTF? How are the producers supposed to build their markets? If they only advertised to parents, we'd all say NO! and it would be over. I don't give a fuck about Cocoa Crisps or Wheelies. They're not marketed towards 50 year old men. One more time...one, two, three more times...YOU ARE THE PARENT. You set the standards for your children. Use the McDonald's marketing as shining examples for your children..."Mickey D's SUCKS and we won't go there." I just don't understand your obsession with McDonald's over all the other bad shit going on in the world. You can refuse to take your children to McDonald's. Let's see you refuse to pay your taxes or fund the Middle East war machine. Establish some serious priorities, and just do your job as a parent!
