Who picks this list??? Honestly who throws a shoe? Anyways, notice we got a
Gun Sniper from Zoids on there. It looks like a skinless robotic wolf with
a straight tail that is a 'gun'. It hardly looks realistic, and then the
Nerf Zerg? It's made by Nerf, any kid knows Nerf means, "safe and soft".
There's no harm there. I like how they emphasize on those "dangerous" toys
and then at the bottom they have Vice City. Not to bash it, it's my new
favorite game, but it's not for kids. Nobody said it was. Of course kids
will buy it, but that doesn't mean they made it for kids. Next thing you
know they'll say cigarettes are made for kids, oh wait, they say that
already. But anyways, they put a Galidor fig on there and no WWF? or GI
Joe? GI Joe has nothing but guns, and did they finally stop protesting the
violence of pro wrestling? Dunno, but the list lacks serious credibility.
