		<description>Amy, oops, guess I wasn&#039;t clear enough. 

What I meant to convey with this post was that it would be pretty easy for a parent to think that by buying a B.E. video that they honestly thought they were doing the right thing. Or at least, that buying a B.E. video was better than buying another kind of video. I tried to point out times when B.E. did make claims that were not true. Even though many of us wouldn&#039;t &quot;fall&quot; for the marketing claims, there are plenty of parents who did (many, I guess, who aren&#039;t blogging or twittering). I&#039;m not going to blame anyone, but I do think a company shouldn&#039;t make claims that aren&#039;t true. Just because some people buy into it -- does that make it okay? I appreciate CCFC&#039;s advocating for parent comsumers.</description>

		<description>You mean...parents should actually think about marketing claims rather than swallowing them whole?! Thank you for this. So far, I had only read one article that wasn&#039;t just lauding the CCFC&#039;s &quot;victory&quot; (Paula Slade&#039;s Examiner article that you cited above). What a relief that there are other sane people out there.</description>
