I've noticed that lately about 30% or more of the commercials AIMED AT ADULTS are being done in cartoon format. Insurance commercials, smokey the bear telling a guy not to throw his lit cigarette on the ground because "only you can prevent 'wild' fires", tampon commercials, commercials for medication like the pill (the latest greatest one), the list is long and indistinguished... Let's not get into the hottest television ratings being cartoons as well:

South Park, The Simpsons, Family Guy, (there are many more) all aimed at adults ONLY...

What does this mean? The public are becoming juvenile? or is it an attempt at the media to dumb us down? Brainwashing? think about it, how many messages are "hidden" in those cartoons about morals (lack there of really) and so on in the face of entertainment.

It is also dangerous because these shows (king of the hill for example) are being shown in prime time as well, and kids access them on the computer/phones anyway through hulu and youtube, the only adult limitations on those sites are you have to know a birthdate that makes you 21, no real checks happen.

Just my Two cents... Food for thought.
