Racialicious posted about this fascinating slideshow from Slate.com which depicts the history of racism in advertising.
In other links news, I'm working on a story about the social acceptability of alcohol and its costs to society. A few days ago I heard about Robby Bubble , which is a non-alcoholic champagne marketed to children. It's sold in some Alberta liquor stores. I personally find the product quite scary and it's drawn some opposition from MADD, who say the product encourages kids to drink. The advertising features a kid riding a cork, and the slogan is "Celebrate like the grown-ups!"
(Shudder)

So what's next? Nonalcoholic malt liquor for eight-year-olds?
