The Hub already attacked for shameless self promotion

I'm sorry, but what exactly is wrong with a toy company paying to advertise their product? What else are they going to do if they own the channel? Considering the costs of running the channel, creating the shows etc... what are they doing wrong? They didn't think they could advertise enough in maistream media, so they created an ingenius solution. They ought to have the right to air whatever they want. "Commercial free childhood"? That is complete cr*p, every child wants toys, and TV ads are a big part of childhood. "Unfair competition"? Someone is just jealous they didn't come up with the idea first. This isn't just the rabid fanboy in me, I really don't think Hasbro is doing anything wrong, and they ought to have the right to air whatever they want.
