(...) Wow, Just wow. The author of the paper didn't do much research, that's for sure! Aryan yellow? LOL! I'm not the biggest fan of LEGO since You-Know-What-Issue-...ing-About, but to call LEGO racist is way off target. LEGO does have some issues (...) (20 years ago, 31-Jan-05, to lugnet.mediawatch)

(...) Except that those headlines are funny. This piece is pathetic. The bottom line is that the quality of writing and thinking displayed in this paper is worthy of a 12 year old, satire or no. William & Mary? Pleh. I weep. JOHN (20 years ago, 26-Jan-05, to lugnet.mediawatch, FTX)
