Arrrrgghhh! Want to talk about advertising indoctrinating kids? I just read an article on the CBS/AOL web site. A marketing research firm just came up with the brilliant idea to take school kids on field trips - not to the zoo, not to a museum - but to the mall!
"It will help them learn to be better consumers and future employees." stated one teacher.
Hope they at least take them to the local Barnes and Noble book store while they're at it.
Oh, on topic...on topic...Gee, I'm sure glad Hobbiton didn't have a mall.
