Toys were never like this when I was a kid....

Yeah, I am out of the loop. My kids are teens now and don't do toys any longer. Last time I went to a Toys R Us they weren't selling stuff like that in the stores, plus I've never seen any of those toys in any of the retail stores up this way in general browsing.


So we do have boundaries after all, huh.....

 

Kids are getting suspended from school for bringing in real drugs n shit, but hey let's market toys with drug props to them because cooking meth is cool

Sounds legit

 

Either...

1. Your children were never interested in such things, so you've skipped over them.

2. You just simply disregarded them altogether because you never really bothered to look at the stores closely for such things.

Those horror action figures have been around since the 90s and I'm sure your teenage children were kids back then. I should know. I was born in '86 and remembered those things being sold well into the end of the 20th century at many toy outlets. I mean come on, common sense would tell you that, even insofar as Halloween costumes about things that are trending or popular.

So, if we can have monsters, and blood and gore, having toys based on a show about a drug dealer shouldn't be a problem at all, eh?

Prude beyond reasoning. It's not like the children would suddenly hop on the coke bandwagon because they have toys for that.

Boom, headshot

Just say no to drugs

 

You haven't heard? That's that new 21st century version Headstart. Start them off early down the road to being fucked up.

At least when we were growing up and played with the guns, swords and what not, we knew it was all make believe and most of us didn't grow up to become violent adults. The very few people that I knew who did all had other issues to contribute to them turning out that way.

 

I guess toy manufacturers are trying to keep up with the crazy lifestyles of grand theft auto games :smt068

 

No on both parts. You make big assumptions about other people based on what happens where you live and going off the very flawed logic that things must be the exact same way as where you live.


And dude, I know all about the horror toys and how long they have been around. I actually have both a Freddy & a Jason action figure bought from one of the many local specialty stores here back in the 90's when they first came out long before I got married & had kids.


Thanks for trying to school me, though.........

 

If you did, you wouldn't have made this half-assed statement....

Umm hmm. Of course you know they don't sell those toys at Toys R Us or other retail stores, but specialty stores or novelty shops. Next you'll be giving the okay to kiddie porn being sold in toy store video sections for kids because "Hey" kids are going to find out sex sooner or later, right. Why be prudes about that as well...

....spare me the bullshit of trying to save face.

 

Yes Master Tender Ass. I hear and obey.......

 

How ghettofabulous of you.

 

Thank you. I am fabulous, aren't I?

 

Yes. Very much so.

 

Agree to disagree I guess.
