There is a particular Walmart ad that I find more annoying than the usual corporate drivel. The ad I find so irritating features a young boy of about five years of age who is such a fan of the game of football that he wears a football helmet all the time. What bothers me about this ad, is that the young boy would not be a natural fan of football. The boy is play-acting by what he sees on the TV.
I suppose some might think the ad is cute, but I see it as an example of the corporate exploitation of children.
