Dirty Dozen- The Most Dangerous Toys of 2001
An anonymous reader pointed us to The Dirty Dozen
which lists the most dangerous toys for children. #1 on the list is Metal Gear Solid 2 (which I finished this weekend and highly recommend)
Also making the cut are Gundam and Dragonball Zaction figures (nothing scarier then Bulma on a bad hair day I guess), Super Street Fighter II and Doom. Of course the specific version of doom they classify as one of the most dangerous toys of 2001 is the Game Boy Advanced port, and I gotta agree with them on the GBA thing, those things are dangerous. Play for more then 30 minutes, and you go blind.
End of Story
Actually, the first panel pretty much says it all.

(If you can't figure out how to E-Mail me, Don't.
From the lead paragraph ie xprcted a lsit of toys with small prts that coudl coem opf and choke a child, etc.
When did we get to the poitn that "child safety" included sticking to a prescribed politically correct politicla and social agenda?
According to their descriptions, NONE of these toys are "dangerous" in the sense of toy safety.
Skip such web-pap and read Consumer Reports if you are concerned about toys harming your child.
Oh and hears an idea, why don't YOU try teaching your children right from wrong rather then expecting toy, videogame and TV program makers to do I for you??
