(Second in a series on toy safety from the Consumer Product Safety Commission)

The CPSC strongly suggests that Christian parents should consider very carefully before buying this toy for one of their own kids at Christmas.


"Ore-Ida al Qaeda Bomber Belt"

The "Ore-Ida al Qaeda Bomber Belt" is advertised as being:

"Fun for kids -- and adults, too! Just put some of your Mom's potatoes on this belt, and you're ready for some of the most exciting fun you've ever Jee-had! Comes with realistic 'dead man' actuator, and a green Flag of Islam. Works best when worn under a long coat, for an improved 'surprise' effect. Fools even the police! Watch the officers' eyes pop when you suddenly flash open your coat and scream, 'Allahu Akbar!'"

[Next: "RoomRockets."]

Is the head photo-chopped too? Why's that?

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

Yes, and one other head is swapped out, too. Otherwise, the picture is clearly just a run-of-the-mill Mid-east demonstration.
