agitprop

The blue elephant on the buka's diapers play with wind-up cars and airplanes:

And even more traditional toys like blocks, dolls, trains, and...

cell phones!

I had to google your title again. It's been some time :-)

(That elephant looks like it's shouting "Buy! Buy!" in all three cell phones)

And look at those chunks of cheese. As some guy I know would say, WTF?!

This was a stupid post (sorry), but while we're on the subject, I happened to get a call yesterday from a woman doing a diaper survey, asking me what brand I use and where I buy them and why. I stonewalled her a little, and asked her what company she worked for. She was silent for a long time, and she finally said, I work for a survey company. Yeah, right. She had to look real hard in her manual to find that answer. I had no idea the market for baby stuff was such a racket.

Yeah, I was wondering about that cheese too.

And where do you think the woman got your phone number from? And didn't you receive your complimentary pack of baby care stuff in the mail? And is it a coincidence that around this time the buka should be switching diaper sizes, making it a perfect time try to make you change brands?

Someone should sue the hospitals for giving out all that personal information to the baby care companies.

PS. It wasn't stupid, and the title was very intriguing.
