Came across a USA Today article about a home building company that’s so desperate for sales, they’re starting to offer homes with rooms, fixtures and so on, themed after various Disney characters and movies. Are you kidding me?!
In the article, a representative of “KB Homes” says most of their customers “are families with children.” OK, but what happens when those kids grow up?Furniture, decorations and wall colors that may be “the best thing in the world” for a spoiled 8-year-old brat won’t be that exciting when they hit 15…. or even 10. If you want bathroom lights and carpeting shaped like Mickey Mouse, go stay at a Disney World resort hotel! You’ll still have the satisfaction of dumping a boatload of money on your kids, but at least you won’t have to figure out what to do with a Pirates of the Caribbean bed when your kid outgrows it 3 years from now. (Or after his friends come over, see it, and proceed to beat the crap out of him for being such a nerd.)
