Is it really fair to manipulate young minds? What do you think...? Many countries in Europe already ban such advertisements targeting children under 12. Should other countries follow their example?

Hahaha! You know, my son is 3 and every time he hears a mcdonalds commercial on the radio, he suddenly wants it. I don't think that targeting them specifically is that big of a deal, I would rather he tells me he wants that v.smile (which he has) than fast food! Sure, both will make him fat, but the v.smile will make him fat and smart ;)
