["A life devoted to instant gratification produces permanent infantilization." Theodore Dalrymple](https://thedailyeudemon.com/2429/).

> The marketing of Mickey Mouse and his friends is getting curiouser and curiouser.

> The Walt Disney Co. is taking consumers down the rabbit hole to a land where crystal-studded Mickey Mouse T-shirts cost $1,400, Tinkerbell earrings run $630, and a Cheshire Cat wrap sells for $500 -- and consumers are gladly paying.

> Disney's consumer division, better known for peddling kid-oriented fashions at Wal-Mart, has been cashing in on a hot trend in haute couture for vintage art.
