"Grinching On The Grinch's Commercialization, Or How In The Hell Do You Get The US Post Office
by Holly
I saw "How The Grinch Stole Xmas" on opening day. I'll leave the criticism to the critics. But it bothers me that, for a film about how Xmas is NOT about commercialization, this picture has at least FOUR MAJOR COMMERCIAL AFFILLIATES that I have noticed. (There are probably more.)
1. Kelloggs' Cereals
2. Visa And The Grinch Give Back Xmas
3. Hallmark
4. The United States Post Office
Yes, you read that right - the USPS is cancelling stamps with a marker that reads "Happy Who-liays!"
How in the hell do you get a backer like that???
I would love to hear of andy other "Grinch" promotions that are going on.
