No matter how many times I asked for a pool, the answer would have been no. And my parents would eventually have punished me for being a pain in the ass.
Pool was an example. Quoting the Simpsons. Point is, kids can see commericals and get extremely annoying until their parents cave and buy them what they want. Should they? No, parents shouldn't always buy the kid what they want. Does it happen? YES, ALL THE TIME...that's why the ads work.
