The Head On commercial is ridiculous. And, because of it, I am never buying their products.
Anyway, I cannot think of one ad that made me go "OMG, I NEED THIS". Not since I was really young, anyway. I know what I like and what I don't. Ads can be helpful but I honestly cannot remember the last time something advertised made me want to get out to the store asap. I get interested in things by reading more about them or general chatter about a specific product on the Internet. Commercials annoy the fuck out of me. I need more than just the PR to be interested in something usually. Most PR is a bunch of bullshit. |

Ads spur eating disorders, premature drinking, docs say
CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- Inappropriate advertising contributes to many kids' ills, from obesity to anorexia, to drinking booze and having sex too soon, and Congress should crack down on it, the American Academy of Pediatrics says. The influential doctors' group issued a new policy statement in response to what it calls a rising tide of advertising aimed at children. The policy appears in December's Pediatrics, published Monday. "Young people view more than 40,000 ads per year on television alone and increasingly are being exposed to advertising on the Internet, in magazines, and in schools," the policy says. Advertising examples cited in the statement ******* TV commercials for sugary breakfast cereals and high-calorie snacks shown during children's programs and ads for Viagra and other erectile dysfunction drugs shown during televised sports games. The statement also is critical of alcohol ads that feature cartoonish animal characters; fast-food ads on educational TV shown in schools; magazine ads with stick-thin models and toy and other product "tie-ins" between popular movie characters and fast-food restaurants. These pervasive ads influence kids to demand poor food choices, and to think drinking is cool, sex is a recreational activity and anorexia is fashionable, the academy says. Interactive digital TV, expected to arrive in a few years, will spread the problem, allowing kids to click on-screen links to Web-based promotions, the new policy says. Call for crackdown In response, the academy says doctors should ask Congress and federal agencies to: •ban junk-food ads during shows geared toward young children; •limit commercial advertising to no more than 6 minutes per hour, a decrease of 50 percent; •restrict alcohol ads to showing only the product, not cartoon characters or attractive young women; •prohibit interactive advertising to children on digital TV. The academy also says TV ads for erectile dysfunction drugs should be shown only after 10 p.m. Jeff Becker, president of the Beer Institute, an industry group for breweries, said parents have more influence than advertising on teens' decisions to drink. He also said brewers work to ensure that beer ads appear in adult-oriented media. For much of the sports programming where beer ads appear, most viewers are at least 21, Becker said. "The American Academy of Pediatrics is wrong to blame alcohol advertising for the actions of underage teens who willingly break the law to drink illegally," he said. Limiting free speech? Critics of advertising restrictions say it is a free-speech issue. But the academy notes that several Western countries, including Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Belgium and Greece, limit ads directed at children. "What kind of society exploits its children and teenagers for money? This is an example of where public health really has to trump capitalism," said Dr. Victor Strasburger, lead author of the policy statement and an adolescent medicine specialist at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. Advertising aimed at children has come under increasing scrutiny in recent years, particularly because of data showing that growing numbers of U.S. children -- now about 17 percent -- are obese. Spokespeople for Viacom, whose holdings ******* TV's Nickelodeon network and MTV, declined to offer immediate comment on the report. Viacom has urged its marketing partners to advertise healthier products, and is among media companies that have been involved in discussions with federal agencies and advocacy groups about advertisers marketing to children. While hard scientific data linking advertising with children's health ills is lacking, Strasburger said there's compelling circumstantial evidence suggesting there's a connection. Last year, the Institute of Medicine agreed that evidence suggesting that TV ads contribute to childhood obesity is compelling and said industry should market healthy foods to kids. And in September, the Federal Communications Commission said it will study potential links between TV ads and rising rates of obesity in U.S. children. The food industry has started to respond. Two weeks ago, McDonald's joined nine major food and drink companies in vowing to promote more healthy foods and exercise in their child-oriented advertising. And last year Kraft Foods said it would curb ads to young children for snack foods including Oreos and Kool-Aid. Harvard psychologist Susan Linn, a co-founder of the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, praised the academy's policy and said it doesn't overstate the effects of advertising on children. "I'm hopeful that policy-makers will listen," Linn said. Self-regulation in the food industry, without a nudge from government, won't work, she said. |

Nimrod won't like that article but I think it's absolutely true.
I still don't understand the double standard in holding cigarette companies responsible for people's death but the fast food industry can make unhealthy, unbelievably fatty food and it's the responsibility of the fat people that eat it to stop. I mean it's either both or none. |

Big baby tears, look at them.
I still don't understand how i'm reading too far into your statements when they are usually blanket statements and based in ignorance in the first place. I think you're pretty transparent as a big crybaby and twat any time you say anything. I'm just saying, no one cares if you're not going to buy HEAD ON! because you're the one missing out. |

Hardly crying "big baby tears" here, rather pointing out how big a deal you make out of my so called "blanket statements" for no reason.
I don't really care if I'm "missing out" on Head On. It's not required for living, last time I checked. What kind of argument is that, Trotsky? You're pathetic. I'm not missing out on a damn thing if I'm saving money by not paying for something I have no care for. |

i just think it's retarded anytime anyone says they aren't effected by advertising beause it's against all avaliable data and studies. You seem to have an inverse relationship with how opinionated you are and how much information you have at your disposal. I can't think of a single argumentative post you have ever made where you didn't come off like a high school dropout with a chip on his shoulder.
The fact that you say you won't buy Head On because the commercial is annoying, instead of the fact that there is no indication as to what the product does, is simply hilarious to me. Also the fact that you thought I was serious just now talking about Head On is extremely funny. You're a big thick-o, aren't you? HEAD ON! APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD! HEAD ON!

Trotsky, if you want to go back to the basis of advertising in our lives, YES, IT MAKES A BIG DEAL. That's basically indisputable. I mean look at how McDonalds markets their shitty food and toys to children these days. That works. It's disgusting (fast food, anyway) but it works.
I'm talking as a young adult here, not a child. I cannot remember the last time something advertised on tv jumped out at me as being so awesome that I had to jump in the car right away and go buy it. When I was a little kid, I saw ads on TV all the time that made me want stuff. I remember a lot of the toy ads, sometimes food. And there were, I'm sure, many many other ads that I don't remember that still made me take an interest in whatever it was. There are of course outside influences. For example, if you are in a family where everyone likes coke, even if you see pepsi commercials every day, you still may prefer coke. You and I would get along so much better if you'd just stop reading too much into what I say. |
