You underestimate how poisonous this is. Humans (and especially children) learn through imitation. This includes imitating characters on TV/shows, which form a big part of the 'society' they live in (that its fictional makes little difference). Letting advertisers shape (to an even greater degree) the fictional societies we imitate cannot possibly be a good idea. They will use it to present the illusion of a perfect consumerist society, until that illusion becomes the truth.
