Adverts on children's channels.

I prefer not to buy the Lego kits for specific toys which usually get built once and then the bricks just go into the general mix. I like to add to the collection so that they can use their imagination to build their own designs. And they do.

I think it's dreadful too - and the adverts go on nearly as long as the programme they're interrupting. I certainly don't think it's right to allow children to think that the Lego or 'people' do the tricks that are shown - trades description and all that, but I bet there's a loophole!

No adverts should be aimed at children. They are too susceptable to persuasion.

NO advertising aimed at children allowed here- and I so wish my grand-children would be spared this. Christmas toys advertising will begin soon - tragic. I also think we should challenge some of the advertising. Lots of toys are shown on adverts to do amazing things - which they can't do at all in real life. I bought our grandson a Lego toy which he so enjoyed building with his grandad - but then was disappointed as the tricks shown on the advert were just NOT feasible in reality. I HATE all the advertising aimed at kids- grrrrrrrrrr.

I think the ultimate advertisement to children is that cartoon series about ninja warriors made out of Leggo. I can't think what it's called but I was driven mad by it as all the children wanted to watch it while I was in New Zealand. The sets of Leggo warriors, enemies, etc. sold at around $20 (£10–12) so not exactly a pocket money toy.

A lot of the toys are linked to TV programmes so each programme is an advert too.

I used to deconstruct adverts with my two when they were young, but the level of sophistication of advertising to children is much higher now than it was then.

I think all advertising is misleading, not just those ads aimed at children. Whilst we adults can see past the glitz children can't. It must be very difficult to try to explain to a child why they can't have a certain toy - there may be guidelines in place to cover the advertising of things to children but as absent says there will always be those who will find a way around them.

It's about to get worse with the (whisper) festive season approaching. There are rules but some clever minds that could usefully be doing something more worthwhile are concentrating on circumventing them.
