The exception

The parents of China's 1.3 billionth baby are understandly being deluged with offers from companies looking to use their boy in advertising and promotional campaigns. But the family are saying no. By turning their back on all of this commercialism they are actually using their baby as a perfect antidote to the materialism and commercialism that is washing over China (and the world). I wonder if the boy will be thanking his parents for all the wealth and fame that could have been his.
