Since when did kids know about politics and government oppression? Sure... it's sweet and all, but I don't think kids get the message across. Isn't any kid in an ad an actor? If, not... they can just say they were influenced to think that
one could just as easily ask: isn't anyone in a commercial an actor?
i think people underestimate kids. sure, many of them have vegetized with tv and video games, but that's true of many adults as well. but an eight year old kid, in the proper environment, is a lot more aware than most would give them credit for.
