The movie, I am sad to say, is very bad, I read today

The Cat in the Hat movie promotions have been driving me crazy. Everything from breakfast cereal and jam to the U.S. Post office is plastered with the frightening white face of Mike Meyers as Dr. Seuss' Cat in the Hat. Cat in the Hat t-shirts, plush toys (does any child really need another plush toy?), watches, lunchboxes, shower curtain rings - they are everywhere. eBay has more than 3300 Cat in the Hat items for auction right now. I read this review this morning with a sigh. In a nutshell, the movie stinks, a cash-grabbing bastardization of a true classic. Now what to do with the promotional clocks and socks and sidewalk chalks?
