The most advertising can do is get the consumer to try a product once. Repeat business is not due to advertising, it’s due to consumer satisfaction with the product.
These people are idiots, but that is nothing new to anyone here.
Busybodies with too much time on their hands.
just my humble opine.
I’d like to see myriad schools/universities subpoenaed.....for the LACK of education they gave the parents of these kids.....
If parents were responsible enough in the first place to monitor what their children are seeing on television (or cut out t.v. completely) this wouldn’t be an issue.
How about the parents telling the kids no. That would work too.
Advertising has been under attack by the left for decades.
According to the leftist nanny staters, just seeing an ad is enough to make a person drop whatever they’re doing and run out to buy the product being advertised.
The reality, of course, is that people barely notice ads... the most an ad can do is alert a person to a specific brand of a product that they were going to buy anyway. If we were so weak minded that we immediately would run out to buy every product we see advertised, the car companies wouldn’t be in trouble—we’d all be buying cars as quickly as they roll off the assembly line.
I seriously doubt kids are any more susceptible to ads than anyone else.
This is nothing but an attempt to shake down another industry. If only we could get politicians to hold their spending to no more than revenue, they wouldn’t have an excuse to keep shaking down industries for more revenue...
Eliminate the FTC. It is not needed.
