A Sign Of The Times…

by Laura

Chris Brogan flagged this one down from twitter.

One of Playmobil Toys‘ more err…interesting releases recently is the Airport Security Checkpoint which lets children move their plastic men through airport security on their way to catch their flights. It’s kinda sad when such a toy is developped to make children more at ease with travelling. I guess that the only reason they didn’t include a “terrorist” doll is the potential for law suits (tongue in cheek)!

Even better than this product, are the comments below it. Please take the time to read what people have to say about this product, but make sure that you’ve emptied your bladder first! I love the snarkiness that people used when they reviewed the product and these are more entertaining than the product itself!

Oh my word – I’m speechless! First, I still can’t believe that comapnies are making “toys (?)” like this, but even worse that people are buying them! Sigh…

I do have to agree that many of the reviews are hilarious and very clever.

Side note – love the word “snarkiness”
