Please ensure kid-friendly YouTube videos have kid-friendly ads.

The Issue

My three-year-old was watching a user-uploaded, kid-friendly Veggie Tales YouTube video today. Halfway through, it was interrupted for an ad. Most of the time that is fine, but today it was a thirty-second, non-interruptable 50 Shades of Grey advertisement - something I didn't even want to see. Thankfully, I got to the computer before my son saw much, but this is not the first time I've seen ads that are not kid-friendly advertised during kid-friendly videos. Let's tell YouTube that is unacceptable. Kid-friendly videos should have kid-friendly ads.
