Besides, making fun of corporations is fun.

And I'll be sure to be reminded of the "corporatism/consumerism/commercialism is bad" message message every time I use my Wall-e lunchbox, sheet set, alarm clock, activity set, motorized interactive talking figurines, tshirt, hat, backpack, sunglasses, wristwatch and especially my wii/ps2/ps3/psp/xbox360/ds Wall-e videogame. And it's a good thing that Wall-e was released by a tiny indy company, otherwise the "message" might seem a tad bit hypocritically ironic.
