"The consumer embryo begins to develop during the first year of existence, and they certainly deserve consideration as consumers at that time."

This documentary explores the history and quite frankly creepy science of advertising aimed at children.

I thought this thread would be about eating children.

Now I'm disappointed. sad

That said seems like an interesting thing to follow up on when I get some alone time.

You read my mind.

I don't know if it's because I'm grown up now and so I tune out kids' ads or what, but it seems like the advertising aimed at children was much, much worse when I was young in the 80s.

I watched. It was pretty good, but not enlightening. We know this is happening. Parents need to realize kids do not necessarily know this is happening. Parents need to be parents so kids can be kids.

Did anyone else notice all the news clips were from Fox News? rolleyes

I watched during work yesterday morning. It was a good documentary. It didn't solve anything, just made it frighteningly obvious how the marketing industry works.
