THE TYEE - INTERVIEW BY ROBYN SMITH
Joel Bakan's 'Tornado Warning' to Protect Kids
Spending time in the backyard with his son a few years ago, Joel Bakan asked the boy what he was doing online. His son, 11 at the time, said he'd discovered a "really cool site" named Addictinggames.com. That moment launched Bakan on a journey of virtual discovery. As he browsed websites oriented for kids he found games like Whack Your Soul Mate and Boneless Girl. The former entices a player to choose their own murder scenario between a cartoon couple. The latter features an unconscious, scantily-clad young woman that a player whips and pulls mercilessly across the screen.

CTV NEWS - INTERVIEW WITH IAN MUNROE
Big business is bad for kids, author says

PLAY EVERYTHING BLOG - SKYPE INTERVIEW WITH MORGAN LEICHTER - SAXBY
Childhood Under Siege – Review and Q&A with Joel Bakan
The cover design for Childhood Under Siege: How Big Business Targets Children is forcefully linear, with the black-and-white-and-red colour scheme of a thousand classic political posters.
