As a PR guy I should be upset by that headline, but I’m not. I like to keep things pure and simple just as much as the public television station WHYY in Philadelphia.
Kempt had a good item on national Mr. Rogers sweater day.
Mr. Rogers Never Wore Nike.

I don’t like it. I don’t see how an endorsement from a company would make Mr. Roger’s content any less “pure”. I’m sure that there were plenty of visible/recognizable products in his house. Perhaps, he wasn’t getting paid for them, but even if he was…so what?

It’s too bad that we’ve become so brainwashed in this country to think that ‘commercialization’ is just a natural part of entertainment. That’s exactly why entertainment makes people idiots, like the two previous comments. Go chase a bimbo on a beer truck, dolt.
I agree with you, Ed. I agree with what WHYY says in their poster, and I’m sorry that our world has become such a heartless (and soulless, and morally bankrupt) place that ‘selling out’ and compromising on QUALITY is considered ‘successful’.
I’m just glad I’m old and going to leave this world soon, so I don’t have to listen to people like that any more.
