Surely the ploy of using toys to manipulate children to demand their parents bring them to eat fatty, non-nutritional foods is more a cause of outrage than a few plastic toys...but then again I have children's best interests at heart, not an insane puritanical streak.
It seems to me that your post hints at the very same totalitarian streak that motivates this ridiculous organization. The difference being that you think you have a better angle. At no point in the article did I read any religious message from the CCFC. You read that into it, because you detest religion, and imagine that it is at the heart of censorship you supposedly hate. I'd bet you at 10 to 1 odds, that this organization is secular. Their name implies a leftist bent, not a religious one. I'm personally not religious, but I always get a kick out of watching big government leftists wail and gnash their teeth every time they think somebody BESIDES them, is trying to censor people. Perhaps you've forgotten the Parents Music Resource Center, or the Fairness Doctrine, the latter of which even now many of the current fascists on the left would like to resurrect?
I suppose I may have read more into your post than is there, but I think I've managed to get a pretty good bead on where you're coming from your first line.
