I have complained to ofcom, (well they banned tom and jerry episodes because they were smoking), but when i complained about the nspcc ads and oxfam ads on skys childrens channels they say that its ok unless it upsets many people. (Mainly boomerang and cartoon network)
My children, aged 5 and 2and a half can't understand why scooby doo is interrupted by the vision of a baby on life support. Me either. Don't get me wrong, my kids don't always have the tv on, but i feel i should be able to leave scooby doo on and go and clean the bathroom, or scrub the kitchen floor, or god forbid, actually get 5 minutes to myself!! I can't though, even though scooby is my sons favourite programme. I feel its unfair to show children this sort of thing as they are powerless to do anything, a more subtle commercial could be alot better - one that would get the msg across to the kids that 'know' and goes straight over the heads of the kids who don't 'know'.
