Would You Be Willing To Limit/Regulate Advertising To Children?

Advertisements [?]

In Europe, various countries have varying degress of limitations towards what and how things are advertised to kids.

In the US, there is very little governmental regulations limiting corporations from targeting children.

Here in America, it's 100% on the parents to withstand the onslaught of ads
which focus on shaping children's buying habits.

Do you think there's a case to be made for limiting ads geared for kids? At least ads with the intention of getting kids to spend money?
