Now that wireless is becoming cheaper and making it's way into home installations to allow sharing of broadband connections, a "no plugging in" policy really doesn't cut it any more.
I'm not sure how much "the people" need protection. Earlier this year I overheard a conversation between my six- & nine-old children, discussing the fact the "The Hulk" didn't really have anything to do with Macaroni & Cheese, "...they just put him on the box so that people will buy it more."
That's a pretty astute observation that goes right to the crux of what advertising and product placement is all about.
