Request for Assistance Q1
3 Answers
Would anyone be willing to assist with a school project? I am a student in University in the United States. I have been tasked with writing a paper child advertising in Northern Ireland. I have chosen 3 advertisements that have been banned by the Advertisement Standards Authority.
I have constructed a 3-question survey to seek the opinions of adults and thought that this could be another good venue. If you would like to help, this is question 1 of 3. The other 2 are posted separately due to the allowable number of characters per post. This information will only be used for my school paper and no where else.
INSTRUCTIONS: Please rate how strongly you agree or disagree with each of the following statements by simply replying with the numbers that reflect your opinions.
1) The Zazzle Inc website advertised a children’s T-shirt in April 2011. It was labeled “Nothing Tastes As Good As Skinny Feels Tee Shirt”. An image of the product, which carried the slogan “NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS SKINNY FEELS!” was included.
The complainants challenged whether the ad was irresponsible and could cause harm to children, because they believed it implied being underweight was desirable and therefore might encourage children to develop an unhealthy body image and an unhealthy relationship with food.
LIKERT SCALE EVALUATION
Please indicate how much you agree or disagree with each of these
statements by simply replying with the applicable number.
1 = Strongly Disagree
2 = Somewhat Disagree
3 = Neither Agree or Disagree
4 = Somewhat Agree
5 = Strongly Agree
The ad could condone or encourage unsafe practice
among children.
The ad could result in mental or physical harm
to children.
The ad is irresponsible
Banning this ad is ridiculous
Children who see this ad may try to copy it and
be in danger of suffocation.

My three boys and their friends could all have been described as 'skinny'. It wasn't because they were underweight, they were properly fed but physically active in play and sport, even if kicking a ball around on the street could be described as sport. This meant that they were growing vertically, not horizontally. Generally, I expect to see chubby babies and infants, but not chubby children who are either overfed or underactive. I exclude from this those who have genuine health issues.
