The perfect victims. Yet the idea of this, when we step back to examine it, is deeply abhorrent. So much so that progressive countries like Sweden, and parts of Canada, simply banned it years ago, and the UK is currently considering similar moves. The basis of this legislation is that young children are not equipped to tell what is advertizing and what is not, and that it is therefore unfair practice. In countries that have adopted this legislation, advertizing aimed at children, selling childrens products, during childrens viewing hours, is forbidden.
Parents hate advertizing aimed at their kids.
It creates stresses and conflicts within the family, and the most vulnerable families are the most likely to succumb, spending dollars they can least afford. It is health endangering - anorexia, obesity, depression, violence, low self esteem, are all consequent on overexposure to commercial television. Advertizing works by making you unhappy with your life, anxious, and unsatisfied. It sells to you by damaging your mental health. Paedophiles have two characteristics.
