Down under "customers also viewed" there's a Playmobil "safe crackers," a
police checkpoint," and even a "gladiator." I'm honestly afraid to search further to see what other "gladiator" figures they offer . . . :eek:

OK, that's about the best thing ever. The reviews are classic.

My sister sent me this link. As far as I can tell it's real. You have to be sure and read the reviews. It's funny, sad, and infuriating all at the same time.

wow, that is pretty wild. the world is changing and unfortunately it'll never be the same again. On the brightside added security measures have not only increased jobs at airports,courts but also more manufacturing and now toy making too.

Funny and disturbing...though you've got to love some of the responses.

Hmmm, that reminds me of that SNL skit with Sharon Stone (just post Basic Instinct): "Airport Security Check".
Every time they have her go through the detector it doesn't make a sound...but one of the security guys starts making beeping noises trying to get her to remove articles of clothing each time she goes through.

"BEEP!, BEEP!, BEEP!..remove your jacket for security!!"

BEEP!, BEEP!, BEEP!...ARCH YOUR BACK FOR SECURITY!!!"

just the top 3, but i only found it funny. the only sad part is the back-story we (adults esp.) know led to it. Infuriating--not to me (ATMO), but over x-mas i found out many middle aged and up adults in my indiana hometown are "tired of hearing about iraq" because "we already won that war". So i find that a bit infuriating. But the upside is, just like little big horn, we now have a whole slew of case studies to teach at USMA and USNA on how not to do things.
