""Interesting example of how insideously Capitalism works, on today's BBC news.
Playboy, One of the worlds biggest producers of pornography, is marketing a range of stationary and clothing for schoolchildren.
This stuff,bearing the Playboy logo is being presented in shops and catalogues beside well known childrens brands like Disney.""

Interesting example of stretching the facts beyond recognition, in order to produce a pseudo proof of a personal opinion.

One corporation, owned by a Loony Tunes eccentric with the sexual instincts of a precocious twelve year old schoolboy, is NOT Capitalism.

If there is a descriptive "ism" for this, I would suggest that it is Hedonism, which is not at all the same thing.

I too deplore the placing of these goods alongside children's products, and agree that they SHOULD be removed, but their presence is not due to Capitalism.

It is purely the result of one company's desire to gain some mainstream credibility, and will only succeed if people are dumb enough to fall for it.

In my whole life, nobody has ever "sold" me anything by advertising. I decide what I want in general terms, then do the necessary research to decide on a specific product. I then go to a retailer and "buy" it.

Anyone CAN do it. It's called willpower.
