Who else is getting REALLY annoyed with the sponge bob and elmo custom people on 47th street?

I find it real funny to watch Elmo or any of these other characters hold out a bag and do that "drop money here" gesture. It's kinda like what I visualize occuring behind the scenes at Viacom, Disney and other media conglomerates as these companies try and squeeze a little more out of us to fatten their wallets. Annoying? Perhaps a little.
