Bratz, Barbie, the Disney Princesses, High School Musical, The Cheetah Girls... There's something about them so sickeningly wrongsome that they make us want to puke our guts up. Then eat our steaming chunder off the floor and puke some more. That's how much they revile us. Inherently evil brands, disseminated indefatigably to the masses until the only escape from their fetid pollution is death.
One-dimensional morals, shallow obsessions with external beauty, unhealthy infatuation with fame... these are the E-rated games helping to nurture the self-centred narcissist disciples of materialism. Are these really the values to instil in the untainted souls of blessed little children? We think now's a good time to remind ourselves ofWhitney's wobbly-mouthed wisdom. Now there was a role model for the kids to aspire to (before she hit the drug pipes, obviously).
Have we played any of these loathsome brand tie-ins? Of course not. What do you think we are - six-year old girls? Look, if ill-informed sweeping statements are good enough for mainstream media, then it's good enough for us.
