Nice. of course

It's the time of year when the comics make a lot of jokes about kids being naughty or nice. All very funny :-)

An article in The West destroys any possible fun.

Parents are now expected to put up a spy doll. A "shelf elf"

The child is told that the elf is spying and reporting.
How absolutely horrible :-(

Worse: the parent is expected to move the elf every day.
Spying from anywhere. Neither parent nor child is allowed to relax.

And the elf must be accessoried -- more than just dressed up. At extra, daily, expense. Accessoried with worthless elf junk which then goes into the bin... landfill.

The spy elf will also have a microphone.

Every childish joke will be recorded.
And... you can bet
... sent to China, for more marketing.

Not just the children's words: Every word in the household will generate tailored, sponsored, targetted marketing.

An absolutely sick "toy" :-(

A solid, sordid, exercise in marketing.




Thank goodness for the childrens' page in the local Community Post newspaper.

The headline is simple:

You have all been very nice :-)
Hi kids!
