This also came across well whenever someone tossed clothing off the railing.
And the Mojo Dojo Casa House 'selling like hotcakes.' And the CEO pooh-poohing a 'regular barbie' before immediately reversing course when he's told it'll be super profitable.
Honestly it's got shades of the Charlie Brown Christmas Special, that weird dichotomy of Charlie Brown depressed by the rampant consumerism of the holiday season bookended by Hallmark ads with the new peanuts ornaments. But the lesson the special teaches is to find your own meaning in the holiday, and that it is inviolable by the consumerism so long as it still means something else to you.
