There’s something unsettling about this. The video that showed up on YT was just a toddler sing-along to teach the names of Pokemon. No attempt at being educational like you usually see with this stuff. I guess it’s not that far from what the Pokerap was 25 years ago, but it seems more insidious to aim marketing like this at actual babies.

The company is collaborating with French luxury childrenswear label Bonpoint to release clothing for toddlers along with a skincare line.


Should I assume that the skincare line is aimed at toddlers as well? Because 2-3 is just waaay too young to introduce to wrinkle cream.
