The problem is that even if I only allow my daughter to watch 30 minutes of Nickelodian or Nick Jr a day she will see approximately 30-50 commercials or more a week. Plus my 4 yr old daughter has the chance to view commericals for Condoms with "Trojan Man" before I realize a the commerical is even on. Then there's the Nick Jr and even Public Television websites that she enjoys going to that have pop-ups like you wouldn't believe.
No matter how hard I try she is exposed to advertizing that I'd rather her not be exposed to. Part of the problem is the VOLUME of it that we are deluged with daily. There is no escape.
I wouldn't want too many regulations but perhaps the number of advertizements daily or the locations could all be regulated. There are regulations already inplace for bilboards and such things. They are limited in size and such. If future limitations would be in the same line then I wouldn't consider it all too limiting.
