I heard they make whole cartoons to feature a specific toy character and put them in kids happy meals and have limited collectors editions. Will the manipulative horrors of marketing to children ever cease or will we all be coerced into a life time sentence at Disney land by a clever cereal tie in.





They do, and that is bad. Growing up surrounded by toy adverts that make kids despondent if they don't have the toys is not good.

Similarly, toys are fun to have for their own sake.

I was under the impression that we all knew this was bad and are actively disgusted by it.
