Proposed. Advertisers should have unlimited rights to target children.

Advertisements [?]

Businesses selling goods legal for consumption by children, including McDonald's and cereal makers, should have unlimited rights to target their marketing efforts at children, using whatever means of advertising they have developed, including toy promotionals, commercials on children's shows, billboards, ads in schools including on report cards, etc.

Corollary. Any negative fallout from such practices is the fault of irresponsible parenting.
