I’m also realist enough to believe that advertising to children is not going to go away anytime soon. Let’s face it, with the government cutting (or threatening to cut) funding to PBS, I’m reluctant to stop McDonald’s from sponsoring Sesame Street and putting a short promo at the end of each episode. At the same time, I’ll be there with the remote control to turn off the TV before the promo plays. My son has yet to eat at a McDonald’s, and I’m happy to keep it that way. by D @ 4:46 pm.
