I forgot I'd not posted this yet. So, it is (like a few other things "Christmas") a bit late this year.
I also forgot how funny advertising was "before" we became, as a society, so moral.
We no longer advertise smokes on TV at all and frown upon the use of any fictional character beloved by children (camels, Santa, Mickey, Elmo) from promoting such behavior.
We do, however, find it appropriate to call pornography "advertisement" when it promotes Victoria's Secret (how could she have any secrets? where would she hide anything?) and plays during prime time.
No wonder kids are confused.
