I remember the Turtles from about 15 years ago. After seeing Casey Jones, I decided to ride the train, high on cocaine, and beat up people with my hockey stick. The cartoon told me too.....

I never was into the power rangers since they started when I was older.

Jax says T right on the box

I remember the 80's and the Arnold Movies all rated R that all the kids likes, as well as Die Hard, Indiana Jones, Crocodile Dundee rated R or PG-13. Most of the cartoons like GI Joe back then even had GASP! GUNS!!!

R rated movies had games based on them for years. Platoon? Die Hard?

And of course Rock Star Games with another M rated game....(That means R ninnies). I have to check out "Manhunt". I liked Vice City and Max Payne(for computer), so I'll take a look at it.

I'll take two.

I've been wondering what to get my Great Nephews.
Thanks for the shopping list.

INTREP - PC ALERT

Good deal, just in time for Yule shopping for my niece and nephews.

[Trampled by Lambs]

My son grew up playing with Ninja Turtles, loved all the movies, faithfully watched the cartoon.

He's almost 18 now and he has not shown any leanings toward becoming a ninja, slapped anyone with a hocky stick or attacked anyone with martial arts weapons.

Hmm..

You know, if I were a little more entrepenurial, I'd look into creating a new chain of franchized mall stores - ToyGunz.

We'd sell all the toys that Toys'R'Us refuses to - radio-control tanks that shoot plastic pellets, water pistols, BB guns, etc., etc.

And top it off with an indoor AirSoft range.

The brand: The seemingly cute Ninja Turtles – being "relaunched" in 2003 -- actually behave according to a vigilante code, where they (and not law enforcement officials) are "judge, jury and enforcer!" The box illustration of another toy in this brand -- the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Combat Lair (for six-year-olds, by Mega Bloks) – depicts a scene of gleeful mayhem as the ninjas fight "bad guys" with ninja chains, swords and overturned barrels. In addition to the TV program, this brand is marketed by three movies and a video game. http://www.konami.com
STFU! What idiots! I'm trying to keep from yelling at my computer right now...

I'm suprised that the "Big Bag 'o Broken Glass" didn't make the list this year.

It was my favorite toy way back when.

Here's the recommended alternative toy for boys:

Wonder what sort of a rating they'd give to Hamas Barbie (complete with burqa and Semtex belt), the Tonka Rachel Corrie Playset, and Osama bin Laden--now with Kung Fu Grip!

A frightening story line for four-year-olds, who don’t fully understand the difference between fantasy and reality.

My four-year-old likes the Power Rangers and is completely clear on the fact that it is a bunch of actors running around in silly costumes battling other actors in rubber monster suits.

I think its funny when he laughs and says, “Ooooh! That’s gotta hurt!” when one of them gets smacked silly.

[P.O.E.]

Here are some cool vintage toys.

>>Casey has a unique sense of what’s right or wrong and you better be on the side of right or he’ll slapshot you upside your head with his hockey stick<<

It puts me in the mind of the Hanson Brothers from Slap Shot, or any Red Wing (Go Wings!)

This one is on the list for my 6 year old nephew!

I laughed at the way they put "bad guys" and "good guys" in quotes. If that doesn't say it all, then what does? There is no good or bad to these people. Behavior is all relative to your perception, not to any common moral truth. Obviously they conside good guys to be essentially bad and bad guys to be essentially good, otherwise, why point this out?

[longtermmemmory]

These people are fools. It is like warning labels on tv programs instantly identified the the ones TO watch.

They just made all these toys hot.
It is just like when the kooks made a stink about GI-Joe.

[KantianBurke]

Hey! They left this out! Its got naughty language and plenty of violence! No one should EVER read this! (sarcasm off)

[nhoward14]

I don't see any problems with this stuff. I watched most of those TV shows and played with a lot of those toys as a kid and I turned into a fine Republican.

Liberal from across room: SEE! That's what we are trying to stop!

I won't be buying any toy guns for my boys. As soon as my 10 year old learned how to field strip an M1, he wanted one.
