The average American child is bombarded by 40,000 product advertisements a year in all media ranging from television to billboards created by the $250 billion U.S. advertising industry, said Strasburger, adding that children younger than 8 years are especially gullible . . .

. . . “We’d like to see more birth control ads,” Strasburger said, “and less ads for erectile dysfunction drugs because it makes sex seem like a recreational activity.”
