My first reactions:
(1) Frege wouldn't approve.
(2) Do they employ philosophers?

I don't think Frege would have a problem with it, so long as you kept in mind the distinction between concepts and objects.
True enuff, but I don't think he could've resisted saying that the concepts sold by "concepts etc." are not concepts but objects.
You focus on the 'concepts,' but my eye was caught by the 'etc.' the latin derivation comes from 'ceturus,' which means 'the other.' it's come to mean "and so on," but can easily just be rendered "and other things." should the idealist confusion here be called "fregelianism?"
other? i barely knew her.
