Pharmaceutical ads for 7-year-olds.. only on ABC Family*!

Is it just me, or does it seem wrong to advertise pharmaceuticals during TV-Y7 shows? Are they really trying to market to 7-year-olds?

My son was watching Power Rangers SPD this morning on ABC Family channel, and I noticed a commerical for some kind of depression drug.

At least it wasn’t a genital herpes or erectile dysfunction drug commercial, but it still seemed out of place among the video game, toy, and junk food commercials.

(* = probably not *ONLY* on ABC Family)
