Money, money, money

This society is about money in so many ways. Even religion.
I always thought of religion and churches as being something independent from money. Of course it is being subsidized by people attending churches, but it is difficult for me to imagine that people will make business on religion.
Here Xmas is the main purchasing season. It is all about buying stuff and discounts. Even Easter. I was sure there is no way you can make money on Easter. I was so wrong.
Few days ago, while driving to my job I was listening to the radio station and they were talking about Easter costumes for kids. As I haven't celebrated Easter with an American family, I'm not sure if it is true, but later I've heard about these costumes again. And these are the costumes that people probably have to buy... only a few will make them themselves. I guess, you can make money out of everything... Seems like this is exactly what H. Marcuse was talking about in his works...
And I'm still curious what kinds of costumes kids wear...
