Shamelessly advertisers and marketers
sat in the Grand Hyatt Hotel on September 14 and handed out "Golden
Marble" awards to honor the best advertising to children.
These advertisers also had two days of seminars on how to more
effectively manipulate children and to get a large portion of
their allowance money.
It was no surprise to see Channel One well represented at this
repugnant conference and award show. Alex Molnar, Susan Linn,
Mark Crispin Miller, Diane Levin were some of the academics there
to protest. Dylan Bernstein of the Center for Commercial-Free
Public Education was there from Oakland, CA. Pat Ellis and Jim
Metrock represented Obligation.
