I Hate Disney, and Here's Why

Disney is partnering with Memorex to make a new line of character-themed gadgets and consumer electronics. And, as you can see, they're about as stupid as you might imagine.

Check out the official site.

Parents, if you buy things like this for your children, the government should step in and take them away from you because you obviously have no idea how to handle money or raise a child.

I really don't understand why it's still legal to target naive and impressionable toddlers with this kind of imagery. The tobacco industry used to use similar methods, you know, and look how that turned out. Granted, Disney isn't an addictive narcotic unnecessarily pumped full of harmful, un-needed chemicals, but I think the psychological damage caused by this type of marketing is just the same: Get this or be unhappy. It may seem silly, but children, by their very nature, are not as sophisticated as adults. Well, some adults, anyway.
