Before, I only thought people were reading too much into things, now I'm
almost certain.
The queen's got the keys because she's the chatelain - in charge of the running
of the castle from day to day. It's a position of great power and trust.
Sheesh, LEGO produces *two* positive female role models in a line and people
have to complain because one of them has breasts painted on to her. I think
this is a little bit ridiculous. What effect exactly do you think this is going
to have
on kids? They're going to see the cleavage and instantly turn into rampaging
sex-
crazed perverts? I think that says more about the people with that worry than
it
does about the 'figs themselves.
