Playing Professor

Today, Dr Rinaldo went out of town. So I showed a movie in her class....like a sub. The movie was about the ethics of marketing to children. Here are pictures of the class watching the movie. I tried to sneak the picture so they wouldn't be creeped out by me.

The movie was pretty interesting. It is scary to realize the way marketers are reaching kids. Sponge Bob was particularly effective. Children now have Sponge Bob cereal, macaroni, bed linens, backpacks and school supplies, toys, etc! If I have children then will never watch tv or use the internet. They will play outside and read classic novels or non-fiction books on the New York Times Bestseller list.
