- A lesson in teaching kids marketing savvy, skepticism, and fun. I hope to be able to do similar with my daughter.

- ha ha , cheers to promoting the death of the marketeer, but how else could you create an entire nation of sheeple that will do whatever fox news and ford motor company tell them to? you mean revert back to times that we actually knew what we stood for as people and it was not spoon fed to us through a nice flat panel TV that we were told we had to have to even be conceivable cool .

- Great parenting advice on how to teach your children to think, not just against advertising. From the page:
We didn't sit the boys down for long lectures; rather, every time we noticed that a commercial or a print ad caught their attention, we asked them if they thought the product really did what the commercial claimed. This introduced the idea that sometimes people say things that aren't true and that it was okay for them to question what they saw and heard. It also taught the boys that what they think is important and valuable.
By introducing just a little bit of the marketing germ, we gave Andy and Matt a tool for wading through the thousands of ads that will clamor for their attention as they grow up in our consumer-driven society. Eventually, they will be able to use this process to decide if a product falls in line with their own values. For now, I am proud to hear my children constantly question the broad claims made by marketers, and I am pleased that we have been able to pass on to them our values of critical thinking and careful consideration. - Great parenting advice on how to teach your children to think, not just against advertising.
