A nice, calm voice of reason. I agree Scott. Pieces is Pieces whatever the
color.

My thoughts exactly, Ben - way back when I was like 8 or 9 years old.
A friend of mine (same age) was building COLOR-MATCHED cars with my collection
of loose LEGO pieces. I found that rather odd. Why would he do that, I wondered?
After all, pieces are pieces, whatever the color ...
Let's be friends and sing a LEGO song together, shall we?
"Pieces aaaare pieces, so - why should it beeee ..." :)

Great, now I'll have that song and 80's flashback in my mind for the rest of the
day. Who was that group that did that song?
Earlier it was mentioned "Parts is Parts" - that was from a KFC commercial from
about the same time.

Depeche Mode is the answer to that trivia question.

A few more words:
Pieces are pieces so why should it be
Bley and grey should get along so awfully?
...
You know they're different colours and they're different creeds,
but different pieces have different needs
...
Help me understand
What makes a Tan hate another Tan?
Help me understand
...
The original song acknowledged differences in skin tone and culture, asking why
that should lead to hatred. It begs the question "Do we have Lego piece
racism?". Are bleys considered as the new Lego genetic underclass? Has anyone
committed Lego piece ethnic cleansing by eradicating all bley from their
collection? :-)

Actually, it's from an old Wendy's commercial, about the same time as Clara
Peller and "Where's the Beef!"...those commercials were directed by Joel
Sedelmaier, an award winning commercial director. If you ever get a hold of the
old VCR game "commercial crazies", it's got a lot of his old commercials
(Wendy's, Alaska air, PSA air, Federal Express, Subaru, one of the bell
telephone companies, some other ones as well..one of my favorites features an
award winning professor who goes bonkers after reading a life insurance
policy..)
