In Response to Kayle's Post..

Kayle brought up the fact that Dunkin Donuts is starting to market a new snack food line.  I agree with what she said about how we look at Dunkin Donuts as a place for bagels, donuts and muffins; not hamburg, pepperoni and turkey melts.  I think that Dunkin is such a well-know fast food place that they will make a good profit off of these new snacks however I think it takes away the breakfast feel of the place.  I personally won't buy the new snacks because the quality of those types of snacks can't be too good at a fast food place.

Too Sexy Too Soon

Recently while I was watching the news, a new segment came on discussing how young girls are becoming "too sexy" at such a young age.  The segment went into a piece of how the marketing world is targeting young girls.  There are many influences in the media for young girls today.  Kids are starting to emulate the celebrities and wear provocative clothes starting at an early age.  It doesn't help that companies are producing toy dolls are seem to emulate a sexier style.  Kids are starting to give the wrong message out.   In my opinion, I think that it is up to the parents especially to control this issue.  Companies are doing what they can to market to a new target market.  If you believe that a certain type of doll is portraying an inappropriate message, then it is in your best interest not to buy the doll.  Parents also need to start monitoring what their young children watch.  If children are constantly in the view of sex icons and scandalous celebrities, then assume that they will try to emulate those people.  It is unfortunate that companies are trying to market sexier to a younger generation however that is just the way marketing works sometimes.  Its up the parents to make sure their children are showing the right message.
