I deeply resent companies being allowed to market to kids ... [View all]

Companies, especially food inc, should not be allowed to market to kids ... Ron McDonald should be buried as should the rest of the nefarious clowns... ( that includes Santa Claus )

I hate having to say "No" all the time to my kid .... I don't want my kid drinking Colas ..or greasy fries .. or any crappy sugary liquids ... Until they are older - me and my wife get to decide what is best for them.

Many countries explicitly ban commercials aimed at kids - but that to me is only one way a marketing guy reaches them. They have no bloody business in trying sell their crap to our little ones ..

Don't give me the fucking first amendment crap ...
