ADVERTS FROM HELL!

Scientific research and religious scriptures alike agree that children grasp the most or learn the most effectively between the ages of 0-5.

Therefore it's hard to understand why between those ages, children are literally bombarded with adverts of all kind that could be affecting there whole life! From newspapers to magazines; and billboards to the radio. But the main factor behind it, the major player is the idiot box or the one eyed monster - THE ONE AND ONLY - TV! Children are like sponges at those ages and they are soaking up completely the wrong kind of information, so what is being done about this?

Due to the recent increase in teenage crime influenced by movies and video games this is what has happened: Issue reviewed on 'The Wright Stuff' - Channel 5

'A pressure group is calling for a ban on all advertising to kids under seven claiming commercialism is destroying our kids’ childhoods - influencing everything from the way they eat to the way they play. But is a total advertising ban really going to achieve anything? After all, we’ve already banned junk food ads during kids’ TV and many would argue programming’s suffered as a result. Maybe that’s a price worth paying. What do you say?'

A respected authority in the Early Childhood Education Research Institution stated 'The first five years are the most critical. Many theorists have researched that certain subjects if not learned before a certain age simply cannot be learned.'

Our main concern should not only be the adverts but even the children's programs today are not educational or informative.


Recognise this guy? Think of the cinema...still not yet?...how about little Britain...orange mobile phone adverts? You must have by now!

This is Steve Furst, actor, comedian and writer. He appeared on the show and explained how he believes it is a price worth paying and that adverts should be banned. He also shed some light on how he takes care of his kids at home. He said that his kids are only allowed to watch kids DVDs of his choice. He spoke on the difference in his kids behaviour when they were watching cartoons or american tv channels compared to the DVDs. He said they were glued to the tv when the cartoons or american channels with the major advertising were on whereas the DVDs did not have their attention so much. He believes it is better to take your kids out and spend time with them!

So if you have any little brother's or sisters or know anyone who is being exposed to these sort of adverts stop them now! These adverts are more polluting to the mind then we think and know!
