wrestling with congruency
Disney is a business. Vanity Fair is a business. Hannah Montana is a business. They are concerned with profit, not family.
Parents are the ones who facilitate this bullshit of worship and consumption. Wake up adults. There is life beyond the Skinner box of commercial culture. You can start by turning off the television.

My wife and I unfortunately haven’t been blessed with children… so I have difficulty understanding parents who think Ronald McDonald and cheesy meaningless toys, for instance, or Barbie, should be encouraged as part of their children’s world… maybe it’s just easier because everybody gets tired.
Good points!

There is great wealth in the observations of those who do not have children.
“cheesy meaningless toys” – perfect
