Carol Ann: Do you know why I wanted this Peekaboo Petite?
Mom & me: Why?
Carol Ann: Because I saw them on Barbie.com and on TV! They even said where I could find them in the store, in the Barbie aisle! They said I should ask my parents to buy them for me!

Ok, I know marketing works, but… isn’t it supposed to be a LITTLE more subtle than that?

    That reminds me of stories I’ve heard of skeptics teaching their kids about the truth behind commercials. Heh.

    I believe they call that “superliminal” advertising.
