Regulations For Advertising and Marketing

I had to post this. It's an article about what the Obama Administration is planning to do to the advertising/marketing world. I, for one, think that it is brilliant and hope it sees the light of day.

Read Obama Promises Change; Is It Bad for Marketers? and judge for your self.

The bottom line is that they are going to make it harder for junk food companies to market to children (the way they did with tobacco), start putting strong regulations on product placement (ie: video games, kid/family shows), stop giving tax deductions to companies who spend billions on advertising, and stronger internet regulations on spy marketing companies that track your sites of interest.
