The Tooth Fairy

I cannot let his one go without comment. I understand that in a free democracy, such as ours, there are always going to be protest groups of all sorts. There are the well-known ones, like Greenpeace, the Sierra Club and PETA as well as a boatload of wingnuts (I'm sure we each have our favorite).

My father actually gets that liberal rag, the New York Times. But he kindly clips their technical articles for me - they are actually a decent way to learn about technical news and new gadgets.

There are always a variety of other articles in the section as well, but a recent one caught my eye: "Tooth Fairy Site angers Anti-Commercialism Group." Yes, you read that right. A site that offers losing teeth-themed comfort items and fun games to young girls angered the Campaign for Commercial-Free Childhood protest group, who apparently spend most of their time going after evildoers like Disney and McDonald's.

Protesting a tooth fairy site. I'll go with wingnuts on this one.
