The power of advertising

After Duncan got home from school today, he was watching the Disney channel on TV and up popped this commercial. I was paying absolutely no attention to it until he turned to me and told me that he thought we should get these things because they would do all of the work and we "wouldn't have to lift a finger". Scary to me how impactful advertising can be, especially on impressionable young kids. Makes you thankful for more networks like Noggin, who show no commercials at all - only kids programs. What do you think the odds are that we could get someone at Disney to buy into the same concept? Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath either!
