Sick America (this might have to become a new blog series)

I was mindlessly watching TV when a commercial announcer in a happy voice said this: "Parents know that kids want what they want, but what kids don't know is that their parents care." Cut to a happy little girl in a room over-stuffed with toys and furniture as happy music plays.

May seem innocuous enough at first. But the reality is it's just the opposite of what should things should be. Kids should know their parents care, and that they don't get everything they want. How much time, money and creative energy did it take to make this commercial?
