The Commercialization of Childhood

It is truly amazing to me that:

1) I cannot find a single decent priced bedspread that does not have Spongebob, Superman, Diego, Dora, Sesame Street, or some other cartoon character with a tie-in to a bizillion items on the shelves of the nearest store.

2) I cannot find any party decorations without the aforementioned commercial tie-in either.

 Can I not spare my son, not even three, from the commercialization of childhood for now?

 I thought I was safe with only a crappy Alco, but no such luck.
