stance on non-violent toys.
I can't see why a Witch's cauldron can't be used as a missionary stewpot.
Then again it bears pointing out that no actual cannibals exist in the world
unless you consider highly ritualized funereal rites. Now a small shrunken
head could have been cool!
Iron Maiden? Baby, I am first in line for the Elizabeth Bathory line of
products....
