We can thank that piece of shit Reagan for originally loosening the rules that involved marketing to kids back in the 80s.

It's been downhill ever since. Nowadays kids doing the influencing by marketing to other kids is the ultimate move for greedy corporations. We need to rein in the amount of marketing we do to kids.

But think about the corporate profits. Isn't that worth all the pain and suffering? /s
