Didn’t they remake these as ‘Pixos’? Are there roofies in that one too?

Jase, the rallies in Tianamen square werent all that focused on democracy, it was a marginal complaint/demand of the protesters at best. Tianamen square was really focusing on protesting nepotism, and the western world completely overhyped the marginal mention of democracy maybe helping end nepotism and blew it up to look like the whole rally was about democracy.

BTW, I doubt Democracy helps with nepotism at all, since politicians can still use their powers in favor of their family and friends.

I am amused by how this toy was awarded “2007 Toy of the Year” when it looks quite…lame.

The news here in Australia repoted that a 10 year old girl and her baby sister ate like sixty of these beads. The strange thing though, they made a big deal of how sick the older girl was and barely mentioned the baby. This leads to the conclusion that a “normal” (they interviewed the girl) decided to eat almost 60 plastic beads while at the same time preventing her baby sister from doing the same.

I don’t quite think that Charles Darwin was thinking of this sort of behaviour when he was talking about natural selection, but I’m pretty sure it still counts.

As for the manufacturers, China has imprisoned people for much less. Remember the pro-democracy rallies at Tiananmen Square in 1989, where they massacred between 200 and 10 000. Depending on who you ask, the NATO estimate is 6000.

Wait, so more importantly, where does one acquire this defective toy?

To make sure they don’t fall into the hands of children, of course…

Can we just nuke them into the stone age and forget this all happened already?

i think what they meant by “hurting ‘made in china’ label” is that they are sorry and have disgraced the country. you gotta think about the cultural and language barrier with those guys.

Ahh…I was wondering why I saw all the soccer moms running out of Kay-Bee with armloads of these things.
