URGENT Debt Ads on Childrens TV

pandas66

Really pleased to see this action. I applaud you chipps I too have sat the kids down and explained to them when its appropriate time to lend money and when its not and if it is read that small print, your signing your life away. They understand the kids in a certain advert are so happy to be going on holiday the sun comes out for them and they understand to save and to pay for it makes your own sun come out. A chap at work today asked for advice today as he's heard me on and on about MSE.com and has a capital 1 card. He begged me not to haul him over the coals for it but to advise him of more suitable debt card to have. I shall oblige.

Just a thought. Try Channel 4 when The Simpsons and Hollyoaks is on. I seem to remember Yes Car Credit and Carol Vordaman one be frequently shown.

I can't check tonight if someone else wants to, it will be between 6pm-7pm.

To be honest I want to do this one step at a time. The first target is the childrens only channels. As they've no excuse!

I wouldn't class The Simpsons as a kids' show. If anything, even though it's a cartoon, I'd say it probably has a much higher percentage of adult viewers than Hollyoaks does.

I do reckon, though, that when they show the newer episodes on Friday evenings on C4 (not at the mo cos of Big Brother!) it's more acceptable to advertise "adult lifestyle products" (I know that sounds like sex toys but you know what I mean!) than during the 6-7pm Simpsons/Hollyoaks slot. Definitely you'll get mostly kids watching at that time of day. Same goes for any soap that's on in the very early evening (Home and Away/Family Affairs etc) as schoolkids find these really habit forming (speaking as an ex-Neighbours/Home & Away addict!)
