Some people amaze me with what they have to do to attempt to justify their existence. The president of the Dove foundation is named "Dick", how appropriate.

Do people need to read a book to know this shit?
TV advertises surgery food.
Capitalism makes children less loyal to family and more to the dollar.
Consuming Kids: The Hostile Takeover of Childhood
From Booklist
Marketing executives have targeted children as the ultimate consumers because they are easily manipulated and able to extract dollars from their parents to satisfy manufactured desires, often against their parents' better judgment. Linn, psychologist and parent, examines how corporate America exploits children and deliberately infects them with obsessive American consumerism. Linn cites research and behind-the-scenes information on marketing strategies that include emphasis on brand names, extreme individualism, and consumerism and the increasing use of child psychologists to plumb knowledge about the vulnerabilities of children, all with a cynical disregard for their welfare. The campaigns--tie-ins between children's characters and products and fast-food meals--blur the lines between programming, literature, and commercial marketing. Linn critiques parents, herself included, for their inability to protect children from aggressive "guerilla" marketing and offers suggestions on how parents can resist their children's whining for the products they've been encouraged to want and lists resources parents can use to take public action against advertisers. An eye-opening look at marketing to children. Vanessa Bush

These idiots fail to realize that most parents bring their kids to films even rated R because they are too cheap or lazy to bring them to a daycare or hire a sitter. Also kids want to see these movies anyway. It doesn't take a toy in a happy meal for a kid to want to watch a movie. Mostly it is the previews on public cable that make kids want to go see the movies. A toy never made me want to see a movie when I was little.
When I try to go watch films rated pg-13 to rated R and hear kids complaining and kids crying in the background I just have to call bullshit on this.
