“If there is a species which is more maltreated than children, then it must be their toys, which they handle in an incredibly off-hand manner. Toys are thus the end point in that long chain in which all the conditions of despotic high-handedness are in play which enchain beings one to another, from one species to another –cruel divinities to their sacrificial victims, from masters to slaves, from adults to children, and from children to their objects.”
~Jean Baudrillard (born July 29, 1929) is a cultural theorist and philosopher.
