This just in from the Consumerist: the toy company Hasbro is starting its own tv station for kids. Programming will include shows that feature Transformers, G.I. Joe, My Little Pony, Pound Puppies, and various Hasbro board games. To be fair, there will also be some non-marketing-related shows, but the idea that we would allow a TOY company to be in charge of our children's entertainment seems like putting a fox in charge of the henhouse.
