Consuming Kids: Childhood Market Machine (part 1)

Posted by Admin in Saturday, June 12th 2010   25 comments already   


Consuming Kids throws desperately needed light on the practices of a relentless multi-billion dollar marketing machine that now sells kids and their parents everything from junk food and violent video games to bogus educational products and the family car. Drawing on the insights of health care professionals, children’s advocates, and industry insiders, the film focuses on the explosive growth of child marketing in the wake of deregulation, showing how youth marketers have used the latest advances in psychology, anthropology, and neuroscience to transform American children into one of the most powerful and profitable consumer demographics in the world.

Russia today is by far one of the best sources for amazing journalism, and objective investigation not only on youtube, but the world. Excellent documentaries, keep up the good work!

It is possible to market to kids and be ethical. This is where we need to go first. Small steps!

Yawn, you surely are not so smart, are you? The nwo is an american foreign policy like the bush doctrine. There’s no evidence for god so there’s no reason to assume he exists simple. There’s no god untill proven otherwhise. Simple.
Besides if the nwo was real, why the fuck would they say it on national television?! haha! nwo means intervention of foreign countries if they get to powerfull. watch youtubeDOTcom/watch?v=8LQafaINk5M

sad, depressing, angerying. It’s great to be reminded once in a while just how hopeless things really are on this planet.
What they are doing is akin to taking everything Bernays developed and injecting it with steroids. Using MRI to look at childrens brain activity while exposed to various advertising really is a new low.

Is there an agency NWO around? No.

Are there different powerful agencies that promote very similar plans? Yes.

Is there a conspiriacy? Well technically yes. Conspiracy on the internet has become a nonsense word. Even if you use it’s harshest definition: “a combination of persons for a secret, unlawful, or evil purpose”

People conspire all the time. Families do at dinner, heck nearly all company marketing meetings. And it fits that description.

No black robes or wavy daggers involved.

Well as time goes by every system becomes corrupt, it actually seems to be the nature of governments. But it is also in the nature for people to stand up and change their government. But since the people have become less educated and more dumb downed then before its starting to look more and more like we are heading for terrible disaster. All we can do is try to educate our families before its to late. We must resist tyranny. Spread the word we can always win if we try hard enough ^_^

I’m an atheist and I do not believe the NWO is real. simply because there’s no real evidence. I DO believe that – currently – politics is way filthier than the media shows with a lot of ‘behind the scenes’ things going on they don’t want people to believe but this is simply ‘defending’ their own commercial and political interests not a “NWO conspiracy”.

Oh yeah I know excessive and abusive use of alcohol, ciggerettes,pharmaceutical drugs are all much much more harmful than smoking hemp. What’s funny is that alcohol and ciggerettes are largely commercialized and marketed, to the old and young.
It just brings you to the end question of why would the loving gov’t advertise, support and produce these harmful substances if they actually care about the well-being of the public
just like why would a loving government make unsafe vaccines mandatory?

You’re wanting to do the exact same thing that these corporations are doing. Just replace “product” with “religion” and this entire program could be said about you as well.

Children should be given information in an unbiased manner, and allowed to develope their decision on religion as they grow. It should not be shoved down their throat at an early age.

Brainwashing by any other name is still brainwashing.

And I’m sure you think the earth is 2000 years old right? Give me a break. The NWO is real. The concept of ‘Jesus’ as a living but divine magician never existed. Don’t you relize ‘God’ and ‘Jesus’ are what holds the you in the hold of the NWO? They play the radical christians and everyone (of every kind of religion or no religion) against each other within the U.S. and across the globe to put in strictly laws, taxes, terror attacks and martial law.
Think outside the book oroutofwhatuthinkuknow.

Ugh, this is why things have gone backwards. The corporations were actually correct about censorship.
But what should have happened was more local empowerment to block this marketing. Government making sure that national networks weren’t allowed to determine ads for local content for example.
Allowing districts and states to manage this puts the power into the communities.

National sweeping mandates are just bad bad bad.

Exacly children are spoiled and get what they want almost all the time. Children are overly protected in sense of “hitting a child is always a bad thing”.
