Super Bowl-for media class

Well, i think they allow those types of advertising because the companies that paid for the commercial spot paid alot of money for that spot, so they should be able to advertise just about anything they want to. And just because advertising about something that is bad for your health doesn't mean they are forcing you to go buy it, if you buy it and are trying to look out for your health then it is your own fault, not the company that had the advertisements, and not the Super Bowls.
