Back to you, Bob. *
Mr. Iger,
There’s been a lot going on, hasn’t there? It’s been a bit busy, what with the economy failing, Zac Effron sweeping box offices again and, oh, that whole thing about children becoming increasingly fat and unhealthy, yeah I guess that could be seen as an important issue.
The people are hungry Bob. Give them what they want. Give them what they need. I am you’re neighbor, lend me some sugar (in moderate doses of course).
In all seriousness, you’ve seen the negative effects that advertising junk food to children has. You’ve seen the nefarious ways that they target our youth. And you’ve most certainly seen the commercials on ABC’s Saturday Morning Cartoons.
Isn’t it time to do something? Couldn’t we just put an end to this? I have a crazy idea and it goes something like this. We find someone in a position of power, say a CEO of a huge company, say Disney. Starting to ring any bells? And then this person, out of social responsibility, decides to say that during Saturday Morning Cartoons there will be no ads accepted and aired, no matter the media dollars backing them, that promote junk food or unhealthy eating habits.
Well, gosh darnit TyDurden! What will fill that air time? Oh I don’t know. How about a few PSA’s with Zac and Miley eating carrots, playing basketball and talking about how great it is to be healthy.
But hey, it’s just a thought. After all, I’m nothing more than a mere soap maker.
Pass. Ball in your court.
