Anybody out there thinking of volunteering? And who would you be swapping with? A MegaBloks fan?

Yea, I got this email too.

No offense to anyone that has decided to participate, but I find this highly offensive on two counts.

ONE - I am a happily married man that believes there is a special bond that marriage embodies. A TV show that exploits that is a detriment to a positive, family-oriented society.

TWO - I am a proud adult LEGO enthusist that believes our hobby is a positive, family-oriented hobby that may come to be respected at least as much as Model Railroading one day. A TV show that is seeking to mock and poke fun at our group is a detriment to our hobby/sub-culture.

I for one will not be watching that show at all. I hope that if you choose to participate, you will be keenly aware of the producers’ attempts to mock you (and hence us) on national television.

END SOAPBOX
