Journal HokieSeas's Journal: Was this needed? 1
So, last night after dinner Bodak and I stopped in Toys R Us to wander around, see what they have, see how toys from our childhood are being brutally raped in horrendus resculptures and repaints and sold as new. :P
But we saw something a bit more disturbing than that.
Many of you may know that Sylvester Stallone is returning to the boxing ring this winter in "Rocky Balboa", supposedly the final chapter of his Rocky character. To celebrate this, they are releasing a line of action figures, with characters from the various movies, the entire set is available here.
But look closely. What is that on the end? Oh no. They didn't. Yes. They made an action figure of "The Meat". And at Toys R Us last night, Bodak held "The Meat" in his hands. Right there in public even! Yes, I am sure your own jokes will write themselves as well.
Really....was this necessary? Oh well. Maybe your friends and kids will ask for "Meat" for Christmas. What will you do? Wrap up a pound of hamburger under the tree, or spend $19 on "The Meat" action figure? Seriously, didn't Ren and Stimpy do an episode about this?

Something here is fishy.
