This holiday season, my daughter asked for a plush kitty. My boy asked for anything Thomas. That’s it. Know why? The picture is pretty much the reason. My kids don’t get a steady input of toy ads so as such, they don’t really seem to have as many interests in such.

Now, I used to feel pretty clever about this until my boy found an ad on Playhouse Disney’s site for some game that was like a Nintendo Wii, but much more lame. For a while there, I thought we’d have to get it, because he was pretty fixated after seeing ONE ad. But, we talked him out of the system, and back into something similar but for the Wii he already owned from a year or so ago.

I feel like our kids don’t get a lot of advertising, at least not in the house, and that’s good.

Thing is, look how much advertising WE get as dads. I’m pretty much convinced I need a new expensive watch and a Camaro. Aren’t you?
