Aren't there already legal definitins for adverts? They're regulated today.

Edit: In the UK advertising regulations are handled by the Advertising Standards Authority who already have rules specific to advertising to children.

Problem with the ASA is that they can only react to advertising that's out there and by the time they do, the campaign is usually done.

I didn't mean to suggest the issues were already solved, only that there's already precedent for defining advertising in law as well as regulating adverts aimed at children.
