  Somehow, it remains a better idea than lawn darts.

• 2 MikeP on May 15, 2008 at 6:14 pm

  Surely there must be a few of those sets available at yard sales and online auctions. After all, when used properly, a set would only be played with once.

  They do in china. http://clamnuts.com/rants/toys/enlighten-brick-creepy-fake-lego/

  Fun for all ages!

  Pacific Ocean not included.

  Over 40 pieces? Of a smallish toy? For a six year old? I think when I have kids I’ll just hand them a Lite Brite and tell them the pegs taste like candy. That should be safer.

  Coming soon from MILTON BRADLEY:

  9/11 – The Deluxe Edition!

  Too soon! Too soon!

  Just be glad they didn’t go with this ad campaign as planned:

  Hours of enjoyment as your little nipper plays with little Nips.*

  They already have that – it’s called Jenga.

  Also, I love that the manufacturer thought to trademark the name Kamikaze Attack.

  “They already have that – it’s called Jenga.”

  That was f*#@ing hilarious!

  Toys now adays.. Pffh!! If it doesn’t have sharp metal edges, lead paint & small enough to… oh lets say fit into a child’s mouth (but who is stupid enough to do THAT!) then whats the point?!
  You’re no toy to me Mister!

  How come nobody mentioned asphyxiophilia? That was always a fun game. Ah, the times I had to be revived by paramedics as a kid…

• 15 Ninjew on May 16, 2008 at 4:26 am

  “How come nobody mentioned asphyxiophilia? That was always a fun game. ”

  I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you…

• 16 Ben on May 16, 2008 at 4:56 am

  “I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you…”

  No, I was too busy holding other things…

  In other news, I just saw that John Phillip Law has passed away. Everybody needs to watch Space Mutiny (820) today to honor the late great Cmdr Kalgan. Oh heck, make a marathon and watch Barbarella as well.

• 17 wurwolf on May 16, 2008 at 5:35 am

  God, I can’t wait until you have kids, Court. It’s gonna be so awesome.

• 18 wurwolf on May 16, 2008 at 5:36 am

  And I would be allowed to leave this comment, too, since I am married to an Oriental.

• 19 Neb on May 16, 2008 at 5:41 am

  Don’t forget “Diabolique”! He was an odd duck, wasn’t he?

• 20 Rob T Firefly on May 16, 2008 at 5:57 am

  This looks like fun, but I’m far too busy playing with my Schindler’s List train set.

• 21 gammer on May 16, 2008 at 6:26 am

  Could be worse…could be guitar hero *ZING!*

• 22 Ben on May 16, 2008 at 6:34 am

  Ah yes! I did forget Diabolique. Thank you for reminding me. I guess his role as Kalgan amidst all that Battlestar Gallactica footage really stood out in my mind. Or scarred me…whichever.

• 23 Chris D. on May 16, 2008 at 7:42 am

  Is this really any more violent or corrupting than the “Grand Theft Autos” the kids play now?

• 24 Darth Chimay on May 16, 2008 at 9:55 am

  Um… it’s Diabolik. Diabolique is a very different movie. Directed by the guy who did The Wages of Fear, not by the guy who directed Planet of the Vampires. Based on a book by the same guys who wrote Vertigo, not written by the guy who wrote Kiss the Girls and Make Them Die. Just, uh, just thought I’d point that out.

• 25 Tim D on May 16, 2008 at 9:55 am

  Where I am presently sitting, I am Oriented to the East. Does that count?

• 26 Darth Chimay on May 16, 2008 at 9:58 am

  Bah, I say. GTA makes me no more want to go out and kill hookers then the Wii stripper pole game coming out will make me want to give amateur hour at the Naughty Beaver a go. At least, not without pasties.

• 27 Ben on May 16, 2008 at 10:19 am

  That’s right. Mea culpa. I hadn’t had coffee yet.

• 28 Ben on May 16, 2008 at 10:20 am

  I don’t know. I have an urge to dive a Zero onto a carrier’s deck, so it must have some influence.

• 29 R.A. Roth on May 16, 2008 at 10:30 am

  I take great offense at this statement! Lawn darts (or Jarts) was the most incredible game ever invented, and it at no time encouraged children to simulate killing Japs. Just each other.

• 30 mrbasehart on May 16, 2008 at 11:21 am

  It’s also an 18 certificate. The game is for adults.

• 31 RemmieBarrow on May 16, 2008 at 3:29 pm

  By the way, “Barbarella” was his “Citizen Kane”.

• 32 Brian O. on May 17, 2008 at 8:35 am

  Lawn Darts are great! I did have to learn to part my hair around the one wedged in my cranium, howeverererer.

• 33 Brian O. on May 17, 2008 at 8:36 am

  You’re close!

  Ooh! Ooh! I love lawn dart tag!

• 37 Brian O. on May 19, 2008 at 1:52 pm

  Blast Hardcheese!

  (Hey guys, do you ever get tired of hearing that routine when us fanboys chant it?)
