Comes to you via child labor. There's something really twisted and sick about putting up a holiday "for kids and kids at heart" while kids in other countries are working over 60 hours a week to produce cheap plastic crap for slave wages. (And is the same reason I hate Disney, BTW

...I just nevernevernever go there, entirely for these reasons (well, once an elderly mentally-slow gentleman drove me there to get much-needed catfood for my cats, and I didn't want to confuse him, so I bought the tiniest amount and said thank you, and didn't do it again)...I CANNOT understand the common stuff about, "Oh, I hate them and they're Evilmart, and yet I go there all the time because it costs twenty cents less for this plastic crap, and this junkfood that is bloating me up like a mindless blob"...I too am poorish, in a western-working world model level of the word (like no money at all to spend on *anything* this week because the rent is due today and takes two full weeks' wages, but I have food at home, so it's not dire), but it is possible to live without the rancid things...sigh...and four of their family members are in the top ten of the hundred BILLIONAIRES in the Forbes countdown, four out of the top ten...and they're opening some giant banking system in Mexico...really, if people not only whined but DIDN'T SPEND MONEY THERE, THEY WOULD HAVE NO POWER...it's an abusive relationship with a frigging store company, that can cause much much more international harm than merely a nasty boyfriend...!
