How do you take a story who's message is opposed to materialism and consumerism and then commercialize it?

Agh. I should be surprised, but I'm not.

hopefully they destroyed that message in the process of commercializing it! "money can't buy happiness" is subversive propaganda designed to make the lower class more complacent with being exploited

Except psychology studies have shown that personal happiness isn't correlated with financial wealth.

I'm more pissed that they turned a relatively well done environmentalist children's book into a stupid-looking romantic comedy.

Hate all you want; the movie made 70 million dollars this weekend.

I'm personally thrilled for an upcoming "Green Eggs and Ham" film.

Money CAN buy happiness.

Most people are just terrible with their money!

I said it was insidious to the lower class, I never said -wealth- was connected to happiness, but you're deluded if you think being dirt poor and having the stress that comes with that doesn't make people unhappy

also I want to know who paid for these "studies"
