Here a chance to make some noise...

I'm sure we've all seen this thing. Here's something we can do to make it go away by September.

http://www.kbtoys.com/genProduct.html/PID/2431939/ctid/17/place/aguc?_ts=n&ls=collect&_e=3f326&_v=3F32631CnGYOa6F929CBE986&_ts=y

At the bottom, you can write a review of the product in question. If we all do that and let them know how angry and insulted we are they may decide to postpone the release or pull the plug on the project completely.

No profanity! Keep it clean! Make your statements to the point.

And if not, maybe I'll cough up $40 to see how high it flies with an Estes rocket motor up its ass.

There's an Estes plant south of here, in Penrose, CO. :D

So... *grins evilly* ...what's the biggest one they make?

Bwaa haa haaaaa!

Here's what I said...

"I would never buy this toy. Setting aside politics, it is clearly attempting to dramatize the president as a naval aviator – the title itself states "U.S. President and Naval Aviator." Yet even the description must admit that the president was a passenger in the aircraft, handing the controls over to the real aviator for the "landing" on May 1. Creating a military action figure for a man who dodged the draft into the National Guard during Vietnam and then went AWOL does not inspire me with confidence in the judgment of this toy's manufacturers OR in KB Toys for carrying and promoting it. Surely action figures depicting real aviators, with all the training and responsibility THEY carry, would be a more appropriate commemoration than this travesty."

Since "fuck you, you fascist bastards" was probably going to be ignored...
