Good question. People are fine with poison being peddled to their children, as long as it's an economy-stimulating consumer item or a dogma-reinforcing propoganda item. But the magazines, with the picture of the girl dressed up just like the girl in line right in front of you, those are unacceptable, because . . . because why exactly? Do you think they even know why they are protesting this, or is it just what the hive-mind has decreed?
