A new TV show for kids produced by a shoe company is under fire in the U.S.

 

The Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood charges that Zevo-3 is nothing more than "a twenty-two minute commercial masquerading as a kids' TV show."  But big corporations have been producing kids' TV shows for years, then spinning them into products ... and profits. So what's the big deal?

 

Do you think childrens' TV is over-commercialized? Or do you think it's OK to sell stuff to kids?
