I don't get your point with the first statement, i wish i could find numbers but i would be willing to bet that more children watch the x-games than adults.
As for the second point i never said that i thought that all the things that eXtreme marketing and sports are selling children but this is just a chance to show the marketeers my distaste.
This should be where the parents step in and stop letting children watch ESPN2 or any of those other networks that carry this adult orentated programming.
Maybe this wouldn't mean so much to me if i didn't have a little brother who watches this garbage.
Don't get me wrong, I dont think that the government should step in and start regulating who advertises where, i just think that corporations should have some responsibility and not advertise adult products on programming that attracts youth.
