Does that mean that TV shows targeted to children can't have advertising? Goodbye kids TV (not all of it is bad).
Plenty of kids' TV is decent stuff, but almost all of it is still obnoxiously commercial. I remember thinking so as a child (the tendency of plastic toys to break into shitty little useless pieces probably helped make me an anti-capitalist, down the line).
So I see very little wrong with just outright banning advertising to children and shifting the creative effort over into "whole family" genres that don't just make up a new way to babysit your kids without paying a babysitter.
