Commercialism!

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Commercialism!

Commercialism!

I never understod how deadly this was until I went shopping today for a new bike (my old one got stolen. Long story).

Because all of the stores in my neighborhood are dead expensive, my dad and I drove out to a Toys 'R' Us. None of the bikes fit me... I was too big... but that's besides the point. THERE WERE COMMERCIALS EVERYWHERE.

DOC MCSTUFFIN AND FROZEN ROLLER SKATES, FOR PETE'S SAKE! ROLLER SKATES!
And when we went to WalMart (because we needed to find a bike that fit me; none of those did either, we ended up finding one in Target) I found Frozen fishing poles.

Fishing poles.

People actually sit around all day thinking of items to slap a logo onto. It's terrible.

And people buy this stuff...!

Yeah, I get the Star Wars stuff too. And then my mom gets my littlest sister the Frozen stuff. I hope we NEVER see Frozen cheese sticks, because I don't care for Frozen much, and I HATE cheese sticks.

Y'all, I saw Frozen green beans. Green beans, for pete's sake! They could have had the heart to put the green beans in the freezer and make a sort of pun, but these were canned GREEN BEANS on a SHELF.

Chip says, 'Tbvn'. The T.V. is videos now. THAT makes NO sense.

DOC MCSTUFFIN!!!!!!!!!!! RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! I HATE THAT SHOW!!!!! EVERY TIME I SEE SOMEONE WATCH IT, I WANT TO RIP SOMETHING TO SHREDS!!!!! Ooooh, idea time. LET'S CAPTURE DOC MCSTUFFIN AND TIE HER TO A TABLE AND TURN HER INTO A DOC MCFRANKENSTIEN!!!!! AND THEN FORCE HER TO WALK ON LEGOS!!! AND THEN FEED ALL HER STUFFED ANIMALS INTO A PAPER SHREDDER!!! AND THEN CAUSE AN INFESTATION OF TERMITES!!!!!!! AND THEN-And then-whoof. I ran out of breath. 

Seriously? People make Frozen non-frozen yogurt? And fishing poles? FROZEN CAME OUT YEARS AGO, PEOPLE!!! I could rant on like this for a very long time, but the fact is, what are they doing to young children these days?!?!?!?!?!? All this dinky, plastic, made-in-China stuff... it's just horrible. And kids one hundred years ago made their own toys. It is just so sad.
