Debbie Schlussel: From Mickey Mouse to Bucky Badger: Like We Needed This
One of the greatest things about unfettered capitalism is that there's a market for almost everything. One of the worst things about unfettered capitalism is that there's a market for almost everything.
And this one falls into the latter category. Former Disney chief, Michael Eisner, announced that his company, The Tornante Co., will acquire Team Baby Entertainment.
And just what valuable product does "Team Baby Entertainment" produce?
College-sports-themed DVDs for babies and children, which expose tots to school fight songs and mascots.
Forget Mozart music, Baby Einstein toys for the brain, your child needs to learn about Bucky Badger and learn the lyrics of the Wolverine Fight Song in order to succeed and make this world better.
As you can guess, this line of products is aimed at parents who have their priorities straight--straight out of whack. Like we really needed Michael Eisner to cater to their parental ineptitude.
