really dumb toys
okay, i'm sorry, but this new hot wheels track is really scraping the bottom of the barrel...
The T-Wrecks playset, where you race cars up, um, the back of a T-Rex, and, uh, they get caught in his mouth or, um, fall back down. and you can flip 'em to hit the dinosaur in the face to release... er, sorry, "rescue" the other cars.
what the flying f*ck?!?!?
what happened to the good ol' days where you just had seventeen miles of orange track, a good set of stairs, and an open front door and see which hot wheels cars proved the most aerodynamic when launched into the front yard?

One parent who reviewed the "Harry Potter Nimbus 2000 Broom" on Amazon.com urged parents to be cautious about the vibrating musical broomstick, after noticing how the battery-powered toy was offering his daughter "a more than sensational experience." Five other Amazon reviewers didn't seem concerned, although they were a little confused about why their children were so enthralled by the $20 plaything. One mom was amazed at how intensely her daughter's friends loved the toy and "surprised at how long they can just sit in her room and play with this magic broomstick!" Another parent said his 12-year old daughter plays "for hours in her bedroom with this great toy.... My oldest daughter (17) really likes it too!"
The reviews were jokes of course, but funny nonetheless.

As for today's toys: Jerry Lee Lewis Elmo or whatever the fark it's called it about as ridiculous as they come. Bee-bop Elmo... something like that. Saw it on an ad last night. aCK!
The very next commercial was for a Dancing Barney doll. Very original.

Chicken-Dance Elmo is a fantastic toy, child.
okay, did i miss a joke here, child?
Somehow, I just don't get Madison Avenue's thinking. Marketers especially. Deaf, dumb and blind.
"We have got to tie in this hot dinosaur angle with our Hot Wheels car...any ideas?"
Hey, you watching the Leafs-Flyers game tonight?
