A Beef Over Ads On Report Card Covers
News - Information - Resources and more... (This Issue Main Presentation) The Introduction: In this world, we are very unlikely not to encounter some form of advertising – almost everywhere. But when doing so, respect and ethics are still very essential. Using discretion is also important. No normal person will want to approach a 3 year old child with some form of commercial to entice him/her. So what advertisers normally do is they try to reach the parent/parents instead. Sometimes they forget their respect for kids and for the parents by not using their discretion. Here below is an interesting report on this issue: QUOTE: An Orlando parent said she was appalled when her 9-year-old daughter brought home her report card cover and it contained an advertisement for McDonald's promising free Happy Meals for good grades, attendance and behavior.
Her complaint prompted the Boston-based child advocacy group, Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood to demand Wednesday that McDonald's immediately stop the report card advertising in the Seminole County School
District.
"The promotion takes in-school marketing to a new low," said Susan Linn, the co-founder and director of the campaign, who said she had not contacted the restaurant chain or the school district. The group issued its demands in a news release.END of Quote Please read more at: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/12/06/business/main3584310.shtml

Newsletter - Care and Share: (The Newsletter Producer Expressions, details at: http://brinksterfriend.brinkster.net ) During this time of year (both online and off-line) some of us tend to find and accept new friends in the spirit of the Christmas Holiday. While this is good, it is still necessary to make sure we know as much as possible about the person to decide for ourselves. Because it’s a happy and friendly time of year, we may forget that some will approach us for the wrong reasons. Those who may attend some outdoor formal or informal events this Season, will start conversations with some at those meetings. In doing so, we are to be careful and not do or say anything that we may or will regret.
