A big thank you to all the parents who attended last night’s presentation at Seward Montessori, a public magnet school here in Minneapolis. We had a terrific discussion and lots of fun as well.

I’d like to point you to a few past posts that may enhance our discussion last night:

Ad creep in the last available space, or, why do tweens need more pulp? (product placement in tween “literature”)
Pawlenty vetoes safe toy legislation but isn’t sure why
In which corporations listen to parents: Bratz doll books pulled from Scholastic’s lineup
Kids as buzz marketers

If you’re on Facebook, you can join the Parents for Ethical Marketing group. You can also follow me on Twitter.

Finally, please consider dropping a note to the FCC regarding product placement in childrens’ television programming. The current rules are being reconsidered. Deadline to reply has been extended to November 17.
