YouTube's complicity in marketing booze to kids exposed by Valleywag mascot
You'd think that after all that time he spent at Linden Lab as the worst nightmare of virtual pedophiles in Second Life, Valleywag mascot Chadrick Baker would know to think of the children. By embedding a Heineken commercial on his blog, Baker may innocently believe he was just acknowledging a friend's creativity, but no — he's unwittingly aiding multinational alcohol purveyors in their efforts to stamp booze brands in young minds early and often.
Thanks to YouTube, Heineken can distribute propaganda for the most homeotoxic of popularly abused euphoric psychoactives faster, cheaper and farther than ever. Yet the prudish overlords in Mountain View restrict nipple-viewing to adults, suggesting they'd rather have kids learn to suckle on a bottle of beer than on the body's nubbly and deliciously ticklish treats.
