Good marketing? Lazy parents?

Every time I turn on the television there are ads for all sorts of diapers: Pampers Cruisers, Easy Ups, Baby Dry’s, ones that get cold when you have an accident, etc. What is with this? I know, I know, I’m not a parent but it strikes me as pretty fucked up if your kid can not only tell you that their diaper is freezing cold and wet, they can wash their own hands with the Kandoo soap, etc, but they still don’t have the wherewithal to figure out when to use the potty? Pretty soon the commercials will show teenagers asking to borrow mom’s car and then pan over to a package of diapers made ‘just for your teen’…
