I don't get it. \n\nDiet Pepsi,  McDonalds Salad, \n\nRaisins are a fruit so why would it become illegal to advertise them.  ????? \n\nSociety just keeps on getting stranger.

I can try, McDonalds and others like Burger king take the advertising to a new level. they use the new movies coming out as their tools. like ice age 2 ect, they make cups,\nnapkins & market toy's from movies ect. Look at there profits? I'll bet they make more than our gas stations-LOL\nI wish I could advertise my Children's books like that.

Personally, I think this is a problem with a lot of commercials.  I tend to mute the ones I am sick of.  I wish they'd realize that shoving this stuff down our throats every 30 seconds just makes us want to get away from their product, not run out and buy it.  Enough already!

Obviously it's impossible.  They must be advertising an artificial sweetener.

Pop might take this one cuz of it being more widely appealing to a larger audience.  Not that bubble gum stuff though.

This has already started...Vending machines being pulled from schools...California has toyed with the idea of a Tax on soft drinks to "offset" health associated costs due to childhood obesity...etc....\n\nWhats next?  We keep sacrificing a little bit more free choice and parental control to the Government to do it for us every day....After caffeine who will they go after....because realistically EVERY food causes some sort of issue in a percentage of the population.....even those consider the most "healthy" beans, legumes, peanuts, sprouts...etc Look up any food and you will find medical problems related to someone with it...should we regulate everything everyone eats because some don't control themselves or their children at all?????

It is illegal to do such a thing.

I know that a lot of snacks are already outlawed in schools, and with the way Government seems to be going, I wouldn't completely rule it out, but I'm figuring the snack food industry makes a lot of revenue, revenue that the government would not get their share of if they did outlaw snack foods. Therefore I would say that even though the possibility is there, the probability is not.

The cigarette manufacturers took their commercials off the air voluntarily.  The reason they did that was that congress past a law requiring TV stations to give free time for public service announcements against smoking.  The more the the TV industry advertised the more exposure the PSA's would get and the more free commercial time the stations would have to give a way.  It was decided that it was no longer economical to do television advertising on TV.

Are you asking if it should be made illegal in public places? They tried something like that in the 1920's. It was called Prohibition. It didn't work then, and it won't work now.

A great example is the Michael Jackson fiasco: it may not be illegal for him to share his bed with other peoples' male children, but it sure isn't the "right" thing to do. It's not really a business example, though, but his fans seem to believe that it's OK since it's not illegal. (shivers)\n\nIn business, many decisions are made just because they're "not illegal" maneuvers, though companies have started taking morals and ethics into account. Sadly, it's not something that seems to be catching on quickly enough.\n\nAn example might be a landowner buying up a city block and knocking the buildings down because he/she doesn't like the look of them. Maybe he went through all the legal hoops and bought out the residents to get them to move, but the residents still had to uproot themselves when they may have been just fine being left alone.\n\nOther examples could involve profit and advertising: I've heard that certain companies might be leery about advertising menthol or malt liquor products in "urban" areas because of the racial stereotypes such advertisement fosters. Now, to maximize profits, it may be a smart move to advertise there, but what are they really gaining other than money?

Not illegal, just childish. Unless they ask you to stop, then it becomes illegal.

No.\n\nYou would be violating both the rights of the content creators (the people who make the shows) and the licensors of the content (the station).

Retailers sell them to kids to  make profit, money grabbing b@stards.  Do not give a fluck about the likes of me and you mate, just see pounds signs, the melts!\nShould be a law that Say's only organised displays purchase fireworks.  These should be issued with a licence-a free one at that-and only licence holders should be able to buy!

Yes that is called advertising..........if you don't have this or you don't own this your not normal.... you must buy this or watch this or do this....... the media is very biased alot of times.  If you don't believe it listen to a shortwave radio newscast from another country about our country.... When I was little "gay" meant happy, not anymore.......Romain Empire failed because what was bad became good. or mainline.  Now days things are accepted that 10 or 20 years ago would not have been.   Media.....gay is ok on tv now.....it is normal  that is one example or living together is ok... or having a baby while single is ok... all are ok now because the media says it is......  whew enough....
