Playmobile Security Check Point

Playmobile Security Check Point

Thank you Playmobil for allowing me to teach my 5-year old the importance of recognizing what a failing bureaucracy in a ever growing fascist state looks like. Sometimes it’s a hard lesson for kids to learn because not all pigs carry billy clubs and wear body armor. I applaud the people who created this toy for finally being hip to our changing times. Little children need to be aware that not all smiling faces and uniforms are friendly. I noticed that my child is now more interested in current events. Just the other day he asked me why we had to forfeit so much of our liberties and personal freedoms and I had to answer “well, it’s because the terrorists have already won”. Yes, they have won. I also highly recommend the Playmobil “farm fencing” so you can take your escorted airline passenger away and fence him behind bars as if he were in Guantanamo Bay.

    So what does it mean when I click on the link to see this “wonderful” toy and find that this product is only being picked up in droves by the freaks of Scientology?

    That is a very good question and a curious happenstance, Josh. I wish I knew.

    terrific post. loved your commentary. It’s reminded me clusterflock all over again and I’ll be back more often now. thanks.

    there’s also this pretty horrible torture device coloring book for kids which gives me the creeps too. It’s sold under the tag “Humor” , but I think it’s about as funny as locking your child in the oven with the setting on high.
