I ashamed to say that this information came out of Canada:

No disrespect to Mr. Martens of Project Peacemakers, but I think there are so
many worse things in the world to worry about.
If Bionicles are violent, then I shudder to think what all those Bugs Bunny
cartoons did to my mushy childhood mind all those years ago. Unless, of course,
Bionicles are based on real people. Did I miss some memo, or am I looney to

I also wonder if Bionicles made his list last year, and the year before... or if
this is the first time he's decided that they are violent.

| (...) Let's hope one of those things is Canada's own MegaBloks! Personally, I'd like to see Lego produce tanks and battleships and fighter jets. People who are vehement enough to NOT buy violent toys are going to find violence everywhere. Knight's (...) (20 years ago, 15-Nov-04, to lugnet.mediawatch)
