Not to be a devil's advocate.. but don't you find it ironic that we are okay with the licensed characters of our past.. but not with the ones currently available to our kids? (Granted marketing now to children is much more substantial than it was 30 years ago). I am in the same camp as most of you, we also tried to prevent any of these characters to enter our household, but after a few months we realized it was futile. Instead, I explained to my 4 year old why I didn't like these characters, I did my best to explain the problem of marketing to kids message at an appropriate preschool level. It is not realistic to think we can shelter our kids from all marketing, instead I think we need to give them the skills & tools to deal with it.
