... at finding the aggressive advertising Christmas campaigns aimed at children, so totally wrong?

Our grandchildren are bombarded from October onwards of Christmas toy advertising- so aggressive and constant- and bordering on the fraudulent (eg toys perfroming amazing stunts the toys are totally unable to perform in real life)- should that be stopped and better controlled?

Hey it's nearly Christmas. Be nice. I have Grandchildren living in Switzerland and they and their friends know very clearly what they want. And the tv is awful so they don't have it but somehow they all know what the latest desirable rubbish is.a Furby!! and a remote controlled helicopter are on the list(vetoed by the parents as Furbys? Furbies are repulsive and anything remote controlled and flying when you don't have a garden is a no no)

I meant 'obscure' there. Not 'obtuse'!
