Playmobil Security Check Point (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002CYTL2/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top)

I thought this was a joke at first. Read the comments

[Disneyphile]

I think every boy should also have one of these:

OMG... okay, next time I hear about a time capsule, I think I know what to contribute.

[Chernabog]

LMFAO... the amazon comments are priceless!!!

...Thank you Playmobil for allowing me to teach my 5-year old the importance of recognizing what a failing bureaucracy in a ever growing fascist state looks like.

...I was a little disappointed when I first bought this item, because the functionality is limited. My 5 year old son pointed out that the passenger's shoes cannot be removed. Then, we placed a deadly fingernail file underneath the passenger's scarf, and neither the detector doorway nor the security wand picked it up. My son said "that's the worst security ever!". But it turned out to be okay, because when the passenger got on the Playmobil B757 and tried to hijack it, she was mobbed by a couple of other heroic passengers, who only sustained minor injuries in the scuffle, which were treated at the Playmobil Hospital.

Oh, oh, that was a great chuckle: check out the "customers who bought items like this also bought..." on BOTH items!!!

More comments:

A US-themed version however would need significant expansion
- 200 more "customers" to line up behind the security checkpoint
- some of the customers need to be business travellers who wait until the last minute to begin loading their bins and devote one bin each to their laptops, blackberries, cell phones, keys, etc etc etc
- other customers must have huge American flag t-shirts and look perfectly willing to experience this process
- extra guards to bellow instructions to the customers in line
- the ubiquitous plastic bags and bins for putting everything through X-ray
- there should be extra airport security on hand for when a "troublemaker" questions the arbitrary nature of the screenings

OMG!!!! How did they get amazon to do that??!? I didn't even notice that. Computers are the best thing since blojwobs!

[Disneyphile]

Yep. Here's another one, complete with the rainbow "threat" level:

Okay, that was seriously freakin hilarious. :snap:

Playmobil apparently has a whole line of toys you'll never find at your local Toys R Us. Safe Crackers? (http://www.amazon.com/Playmobil-3161-Safe-Crackers-by/dp/B0002HY2R8/ref=pd_sbs_t_njs_img_4)

HazMat Team? (http://www.amazon.com/Playmobil-Hazmat-Team-Figures-Accessories/dp/B0011PP8N2/ref=pd_sbs_a_title_1)

I need to get out more.

[Disneyphile]

I'm disappointed there's no hooker/pimp playset.

Here's the first comment on the 2nd x-ray machine:

If you're a parent, then you've probably been struggling with how to teach your kids about how much fun it is to have your rights systematically stripped from you. Kids today always seem to be whining about freedom and their "Constitutional Right" to be free of warrantless search and seizure and their "right to privacy" (whatever that is). Teaching them to be afraid of "the terrists" and explaining that Islamofascists are a monolithic, unified entity with the sole goal of destroying America because they hate us for our freedoms, so we owe to it eliminate as many freedoms as possible, is really hard. And don't get me started on the times they say, "Daddy, you mean six ounces of liquid in one bottle can blow up a plane, but two three ounce bottles can't??"

LOL!!!

Great! Now that I've clicked those links, amazon.com thinks I'm a 6 year old boy. Well, okay, they're not that far off the mark. They're suggesting Playschool toys to me that I may or may not buy.
:D

Did you see the descrip on the Safe Crackers? (http://www.amazon.com/Playmobil-3161-Safe-Crackers-by/dp/B0002HY2R8/ref=pd_sbs_t_njs_img_4)

Product Description
Complete with working safe locker. Cracking a safe is an art form, and these clever Playmobil Safe Crackers have to move quick if they want to get the stash before the alarm sounds! Lucky for them, their team includes two master technicians with all the tools of the trade and their own personal safe decoder. Set includes two robbers in signature undercover gear (plaid berets, sunglasses, and a leather jacket), plus a large safe, decoder, keys, stacks of money, a bar of gold, and a briefcase.[

A comment from amazon:
This is the perfect gift for the aspiring young felon in your life. I can't wait for other products from the Playmobile Perpetrator Series like "Police Brutality Set" or "Shiv your Cellmate."

[Disneyphile]

And to think most toys we played with in the 70's would be considered "unsafe" or even "un-PC" these days. :rolleyes:

[Gemini Cricket]

What was wrong with the toys I used to play with?
The My Little Pony Glue Factory - I loved that one.
The Barbie Jonestown Playset - It came with Kool Aid.
The Cabbage Patch Kids' Spanking Table - Some of them were naughty...


:D

[BDBopper]

Suddenly I remember the "Playmobil Mansion" sketch on Robot Chicken

Great thread...thanks for sharing!

[Kevy Baby]

What was wrong with the toys I used to play with?
<snip>
The Cabbage Patch Kids' Spanking Table - Some of them were naughty...USED to play with? You told me you still used this one.

[Gemini Cricket]

I confess.
I do.

That is HILARIOUS! The first comments (review) are so funny. Come on people...we need a toy for this? Can't we teach our kids about airport security???? :rolleyes:

Haha. Sheeple.

:D

A friend of mine has very un-PC uses for Playskool toys. In her kitchen. And bedroom. She's a very bad girl sometimes. :)

[Sub la Goon]

I had to peruse the fine offerings and I must say that I lierally laughed until I cried at the comments. The crazy links you get from Amazon take you all over the place, like the $20K tank or the study of toilet brush sales forcasted in greater China over the next 5 years.

And I think a Bratz themed line of hooker & pimp products would not be too far of a stretch of the imagination...
