My son had his first Birthday party last month and he received a toy that I believe represents almost everything that is wrong with this country and why the next generation is headed for destruction. Don't get me wrong, I know the person who gave this gift did so with good intentions and most people probably would have never noticed the disturbing actions portrayed by this toy (I only discovered the troubling issues after weeks of careful study). Take a look at this thing. Go ahead, take several minutes to look at the image here before you continue reading.
Do you see anything you don't like? What you are looking at is an overweight, workaholic that is talking on his cell phone while enjoying fast food and driving his car. I don't even know where to begin with this! Let us begin with the cell phone. Everyone knows by now it is dangerous to talk and drive at the same time. Now, a lot of people ignore this and do it anyway, which is certainly their prerogative, but to actually make a toy that encourages such behavior is completely unacceptable. As if that wasn't bad enough, instead of salvaging what shred of safety they could by having this man hold the wheel with at least one hand the makers of this toy decided that it would be better for him to be on a busy lunch break using the other hand to eat. I could stop right now because I'm sure the parents reading this are frantically searching in their own child's toy collection making sure this abomination is not present, but there is more. The gentleman this toy is modeled after is obviously so obsessed with his work that he has no time to get a haircut, take care of himself, and probably spends no time with his wife and kids. I don't know about you, but I DO NOT want my boy growing up to be anything like this! With that in mind I encourage all of you that have children and want something more for them than what cooperate America has to offer to unite and send a message that this toy be recalled! Any toy that is considered dangerous is given a safety recall, so why should a toy that threatens our children's very future be any different? Thank you all for your time and lets keep changing this world together, one post at a time.
