Actually, they probably are I'd say... What is it, 10 minutes out of an hour show is commercials? In any case commercial messages certainly aren't hidden like on neopets.

I think that was supposed to be sarcasm... oO

And Neo's ads aren't hidden. On every page with advertisments, there's a disclaimer near the bottom that says "This page contains advertisments." There's a very clear line between Neopets original content and sponsor content.

Elephantes are not furry... I think it is a Uni.

I also agree that it seems to be kind of negatively talking about Neo.

Okay, now we know that they lost sight of their player base. If only 39% of the players are under the age of 13, then why are they catering to that market?!

Oh, that's right... because they don't want us older folks there, because we won't impulsively buy their stuff!!!! :evil:

dozens of young workers sit in cubicles programming and creating content for Neopia.

I want to see this. If it's true, then they need to hire more people to FIX their mistakes!!!

Democratic Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa plans to introduce a bill this week that would reinstate the Federal Trade Commission's ability to issue rules on unfair advertising to children (the ad industry now abides by voluntary guidelines).

Hmmm... do this and Neopets will definately go down the tubes, since they've lost most of their adult players and won't get it back unless they make and effort to de-sugar the site and to be honest, it might not come back, even then.

"McDonald's wants to be integrated into the online experience. We have been doing it for entertainment purposes, not directly selling."

Yeah, and my grandmother sells used cars on Mars. They are making a profit of this, just like Neopets. It's a back-scratching situation.

Oh, this definately won't help Neopets, either, since the number one issue in many households is the kid-based advertising.
