Spoken exactly like someone who's never been there.

And, 1/3 of your kids' peers are not overweight because of Disney, it's because their parents won't do anything to get them out of the house.

ANY company markets their wares anyway they can- movie tie-ins, lucrative licensing deals, etc. Hell, do you not watch ANY form of TV for fear that your kids will be brainwashed into thinking they have to have EVERYTHING on the planet? Unless you make EVERYTHING that you own, be it your house, your car, your food, your clothing, the computer that you are working on from home, you've BOUGHT something from someone who was most likely advertising. Sheesh. Time to turn it down a notch... you're going to wind up hurting your kids more than helping them.
