KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- Channel 9 has discovered another controversial toy. A local mother took a closer look at the toy and realized something wasn't right. It's a toy cell phone with a picture of Osama bin Laden on it with one word above it, "King."

Seeing toddlers pretending to talk on cell phones is disturbing enough without them having Osama bin Laden on imaginary speed dial.

And guess where it came from?



" L and M Exports in Miami . "



Sound familiar?

but don't you remember, that toy of the airplane between two buildings that looked very similiar to the twin towers, and the numbers 11 and 9 written at the base, was possibly just a coincidence (according to a way too skeptical poster)

I thought the other toy was a coincidence. This one . . . Um . . . .

Oh, come on. I suppose next you're going to see sinister intentions behind "Barbie's Malibu Fortress of Defense Against the Evil Zionist Crusaders", or the "Teenage Mutant Ninja All Must Submit to the Will of Allah And Seek Glorious Martyrdom Turtle."

I concur. Reading the article there might have been a third one. Once might be a coincidence and should be treated with skepticism. Several instances from the same company and on the same topic points more directly to the possiblity that this was intentional.

Note that the toys were produced in China. I would be rather interested in knowing who has a financial interest in that company and where else in the world they sell toys...but I seriously doubt even the "new world" China is going to let us see those books....

Well, it wasn't so much that as the "L'il Beheader" kit and the "Explosive Belt O' Fun."

Anybody wanna bet on Jerry Falwell?

Unbelievable!

What's so unbelievable about it? You mean you are still capable of being shocked by this kind of stuff?

Just curious, Mycroft, wasn't it you who turned up the original planes flying into the World Trade Center toy? How do you come up with these things? You wouldn't be a mole at L&M Imports, would you?

If so, keep up the good work.

Mycroft is part of a conspiracy (along with a Mr. Potato Head and several hippos who are quite hungry) to put the good people of L&M imports out of business.

I bet L&M isn't the bad-guy here, though one has to wonder how many of these scandals they have to go through before someone decides it would be a good policy to actually look at the toys they import before selling them.

I agree 100%

If you do and luck out and get a toy like this, you can make a fortune on e-bay.

Damn! I've been trying to get one of those "Teenage Mutant Ninja All Must Submit to the Will of Allah And Seek Glorious Martyrdom Turtle" on eBay for weeks now!
