Do you feel the same about a kid age 2 holding beer can to its mouth?
There are 1000s of Americans that need to be LOCKED UP IMMEDIATELY if so, and if not, that hypocrisy at its finest.
Youd think some of you people would care more about the TV and Magazine alcohol ads your kids see.
While I am not endorsing what this couple did, the hypocrisy is what strikes me.
Alcohol ads are up, number of teens and preteens enjoying alcohol is UP, and yet no one really cares. Parent slet the kids see the ads all over and do not care.

"Magazines that boast more teen readers are more likely to run ads for beer and liquor that their young patrons aren't old enough to drink, a new study has found. "

""This dramatic increase in alcohol ads seen by our children in 2002 suggests the problem got worse," said Jim O?Hara, executive director of the Center. "While a step in the right direction, the industry?s new marketing codes lag far behind its aggressive marketing practices."
The Center found that the total number of alcohol ads on network, local and cable television increased to 289,381 in 2002, a 39 percent hike from 2001. Spending grew by 22 percent, to more than $990 million in 2002. Youth ages 12-20 were more likely on a per capita basis than adults to have seen 66,218 ads, a 30 percent increase over 2001. "
they are spending millions to HOOK YOUR KIDS ON BEER
