We're talking about advertising to children here. Most children don't have
your advantages.

Gareth (my 3 year old) is already quoting advertising from the radio, which he
hears for about 1.5 hours per day during our commute.  Fortunately, its for
things like car dealerships and funeral homes... :-). I dread exposing him to
ads specifically targeted at him...
