*LOL* That was funny Rainy... don't ask me why... it just tickled my giggle bone ;D...
TA was given a Spawn toy at his 5th b-day ... from one of the kids in his Kindergarten class...
I was so upset about it... but I was polite... after the party guests went home, I explained to TA that it was inappropriate for his age group and he said he didn't like it anyway, it was ugly to him... so we went and returned it to the store the next day... I can't remember what he got instead, but he was really good about it, and has never asked for anything like it since.
When I buy toys for the parties my kids go to... I always make sure that it is something I would like my kids to have... reguardless of what the "norm" supposedly is... sometimes to the dismay of the recipient... but not usually

this isn't a bad idea, especially given the fact that you can buy porn star toys from Virgin Megastores now ~is saving up for a Jenna Jameson~ :xcheese

I thoroughly agree that the "Day after New Year's" edition of Armada Thrust could give kids bad ideas ;)
Seriously though, I think these people need to get with the times. When we were growing up, there might have been some logic to this sort of censorship, but we live in the Information Age of readily available internet and pay cable, and young kids have far more information about the world available to them then we ever did. They're already exposed to every dirty word, violent picture, and racy video out there, and there's nothing we can do to prevent that. As a result, child raising has to be about giving them the tools to make good judgements about what they're being exposed to, and crediting them as being responsible enough to do so. Trying to hide objectionable material from them only makes them want it more and assume less responsibility in seeking it out. Children aren't children anymore.

I'm still a little dimly surprised why Razorclaw's on that list. After all, if one looks for violent Transformers, one needs not look farther then Unicron. (after all, how can things get more violent then eating entire, populated planets?)
