To tell the truth, I'm rather ambivalent about anti-marketing ideology nowadays. However, I will share my experience of a big-box store stocked entirely with infant-centered products. Bye-Bye Baby, I think it was called. Basically it's like Wal-Mart, only stuffed full of strollers, cradles and tiny clothes.
Now I was willing to accept that kind of stuff, even in those massive quantities. But then I got to the audio-visual section and found this enormous selection of CDs and DVDs made especially for the under-two demographic.

That's when I got scared.
