What I won't be buying for Christmas

This is a hand slap for not paying close enough attention to what my child was watching. Erg. I am beginning loathe most of the commercials that are geared towards children.

Barbie Shopping Boutique


"Buy anything you want at the Barbie Shopping Boutique.
You never run out of money."

The commercial is basically a clothing store with a credit card machine and a card that never runs out of money so that you can buy a variety of the 'perfect outfit.'


Never runs out of money? This must have been written by someone that works for a credit card company. Just exactly what value is this supposed to teach our children?
Material goods are great. You need lots of pretty clothes. Credit cards are magic.

I understand not making a Dumper Diving Barbie or a Salvation Army Skipper (although that would be great) but this???
