It’s Graven images, not Craven images. Oy.

I always get that wrong. Craven, Graven, it’s ignored either way.

The title has the link…

One2believe plans to sell the toys in 15 countries by the end of the year, including in the Middle East.

Probably make a fortune out of the middle east. I would like to see what happens to the dolls when they get them home though.

Target so kicks Mal-Wart’s arse. They even sell Hitchen’s “god Is Not Great” in their books section.

Alex:

Does Wal-mart not sell the Hitchens book? (I’m actually one of the few Americans I think who has never stepped foot in a Wal-mart. They didn’t come to Boston until fairly recently, and even at that they are way out in the ‘burbs.)

while I don’t agree with Wal-Mart, I do think they have the right to sell what they want. Apple, I’m with you… I’ve never set foot in a Wal-Mart and I don’t plan to.

So "Samson and Goliath could do really well because they're very edgy because they're very buff."

Amazing, but certainly good for a laugh. Can't help but wonder if any of the female characters will be really sexy. We all know sex sells and even Disney's female characters have filled out a lot over the years.

And the price! Wow! Maybe that alone will slow sales.

[quote]"I think parents are dying for something for their young child that they can give them that they know is going to give them a positive image,"[/quote]

Yep, nothing like Samson bludgeoning people to death with a bone to make me feel all warm and fuzzy instead. I didn't really need another reason to avoid going to Wal-Mart, but now I have one. Thanks for that.

...and the laugh.

I am looking forward to seeing Jesus, Goliath and Moses action figures blown up with firecrackers and offered to the family dog as chew-toys just like the other hoards of action figures.
