If you make a product for kids, who else are you going to market it to? The parents? Do the parents care that GI Joe has a kung fu grip or do the kids?
Say we regulate what can be advertised to kids. Who would be the authority for what is and isn't acceptable for kids? How can you be certain that their beliefs are considered extreme when compared to your beliefs? How can you be sure that they aren't taking kickbacks from the industry? What if you're a parent that would rather their 12 yr old used a condom instead of risking a pregnancy?
You have the power. If you have cable you can probably block the channel so that your kid can't even watch it.
