Consuming Kids - The Commercialization of Childhood

Let me tell you one thing, when I was a little boy all I ever wanted is to ride my bike as fast and as far as I can, that's pretty much what I can remember from those days. I see kids today and new parents and I feel a little itch in my belly when I notice how much money one needs to have to invest in today's latest attractions, so many games, toys, technologies and such, I really don't get it, do we really need all of that? our kids? have we become a mad nation of obsessive consumerism? I doubt it, something tells me there is much more under the table here, the advertising agencies are working full time to pump us and our kids with the latest of the greatest and trust me when I tell you, they don't really care about you or your kids, it's your money and hunger for more that they are productivity working on... vultures!

Watch this movie if you dare, and if you have kids, think twice before you invest in something you have no idea why they want it?!?



Consuming Kids throws desperately needed light on the practices of a relentless multi-billion dollar marketing machine that now sells kids and their parents everything from junk food and violent video games to bogus educational products and the family car. Drawing on the insights of health care professionals, children's advocates, and industry insiders, the film focuses on the explosive growth of child marketing in the wake of deregulation, showing how youth marketers have used the latest advances in psychology, anthropology, and neuroscience to transform American children into one of the most powerful and profitable consumer demographics in the world. Consuming Kids pushes back against the wholesale commercialization of childhood, raising urgent questions about the ethics of children's marketing and its impact on the health and well-being of kids.

Zeitgeist, The Movie - A documentary into truth.

“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace” - Sir Chimhoy Ghose.

Every now and then a friend of mine from the other side of the world sends me a link of an item that moved him or her, that link sparked something with in them and they choose to take the time and spread their thought and emotions regarding that event. I decide to take my precious time and embark on an adventure which will connect us to a higher meaning of relationships. This bonds us and make us wonder about how souls connect and interact.

Today a dear friend took the time to send me a link to an on-line powerful documentary about the interlinks between Christianity, 911, education, media, The Federal Reserve and much much more. the movie titled ’Zeitgeist - the spirit of time’ and it’s a document which was first aired on Google video on December 2007 and already won The best documentary award in the Artivist film festival in Hollywood 2007.

Zeitgeist, produced by Peter Joseph, was created as a nonprofit expression toinspire people to start looking at the world from a more critical perspective and to understand that very often things are not what the population at large think they are.

I watched the movie and was deeply inspired to think about many issues going on in my head, I do not take sides I only represent myself in this meter and I do think we have much to learn about the world we live in and the way we do (so called) ‘business’. The movie has been remastered and is fully on-line thanks to our dear friends at Google Video. So, take some time off your busy life and sit down with a proper cup of tea and watch the movie for I assure you, it will give you something to ponder off…
