Here's a lovely toy company we should not support
http://www.lanard.com/

(it's a flash based website, so regrettably you'll have to visit it to read it.)

They make, of all things, "The Corps!" action figure toys. These are 3.5" figures with small (1") guns, which apparently are suitable for children as young as age 3. (Do 3 year olds put things into their mouths?)

http://smalljoes.com/lanard_corps_figures.shtml (don't buy any of it, it's all half price at Walmart anyway. :eyes: )

Age 3... could this be indoctrination at an early age?

1. Hey, I used to play with toys like that
and I didn't turn out remotely Republican. Come on now. No need to go ruining kids' good times. Leave it to the right to enforce personal morality.

2. Yeah, but it says on the box of the Corps: "Evil is here!"
More george bushwhackery... :puke:

It's funny. China is making figures of US weapons spouting all the 'axis of evil' nonsense and with their demand for oil, they'll be evil themselves quite soon.
