That's right folks!  The cute little marketing concepts have finally
found themselves in their first idiotic movie.  No doubt more dreadful
than the "Smurfs and The Magic Flute."  Do people REALLY shell out
money to see this sort of drek?  What kind of an idiot could fail to
see the true purpose of these little darlings?

Created within the dark recesses of some evil and Satanic ad agency,
they have now been unleashed on the world to manipulate the hearts of
young consumers.  So lovable and cute they are ... BUT DON'T LOOK!
Turn AWAY!  Underneath those soft, furry exteriors beat the greedy
hearts of formula mass marketing experts!  This is evidenced by the
fact that the little monstrosities are owned and copywritten by the
American Greeting Card Corporation.

It's sickening.  There's a difference between a concept catching on...
and being pushed on people.  Care Bears have been introduced with all
the grace and tact of an 800 lb grizzly.

No wonder unicorns are extinct.  They were marketed to death.
