eggcorn: crash commercialism

[Garson O'Toole]

The Eggcorn Forum does have a post about the substitution of "cross"
for "crass" yielding "cross materialism" and "cross commercialism".

A Google search located the following excerpt which shows a writer
using multiple terms in a distinctive fashion including "cross
commercialism":

[Begin excerpt]
Its hypnotic views, gentle lanes, simple work culture and an affable
climate, Yercaud will leave you touched. Yercaud boasts of a Botanical
park, a State horticulture center, a beautiful lake and numerous
eat-outs.

Inspite of the availability of all these, it has avoided to fall in a
trap of cross commercialism. We remain speechless for its magnanimous
beauty. ------ A warm welcome to leave you hypnotized.
