A question for those of you who have kids..

No offence taken. I agree with you both, what can I say... my job sucks. But until I get to go back to doing cycling events I am a hired gun and I am doing what pays my bills -- yes marketing is evil.. VERY VERY evil ;)

I understand your position - I don't mean to have a go at you.

Actually marketing doesn't suck, but marketing stuff at little kids who don't have a real understanding of money and the value of things, and who are incredibly impressionable, does suck. It's using kids as the "middle man" between the company and the customer that I really object to.
