I feel like the question of "underage" (a subjective and ultimately
sort of meaningless term) is less relevant than the issue itself,
which is the superficial and senseless sexualization of marketing in
what are, essentially, children's stories.

Oh, Peter. It's been a long time since you were 14, hasn't it? ;)

Seriously, though, if the touched-up ad had neither purpose nor
effect, one wonders why they'd have gone to the trouble of doing it at
all.
