Bush toy was not much fun
By MATT LITTLE Special to The Star


Dear Blue Box:

With great disappointment, I am returning the George W. Bush “action figure,” which you will find enclosed in this package. I am seeking a full refund for this defective toy for the following reasons:

• Despite its billing as an action figure to pair up with my GI Joes, it was obviously not made to be a soldier. Never mind the lack of any scar on its face. The bigger problem is that I cannot find any weapons of mass destruction anywhere in the box. Heck, I can't find any weapons at all!

• When I pull the string to make it talk, the results are muffled and unintelligible or make no sense at all. Is this supposed to be some kind of rotten joke on your customers?

• Every time I turn the doll upside down and shake it, white powder comes out. What's with that?

• Even worse, my GI Joe dolls don't seem to like this one at all, and I'm beginning to understand why:

All last week, during the grueling sandbox battles in my backyard between my GI Joes and the hideous armies of Grog, the GW Bush doll was missing. I thought it was lost for good. But then, after my GI Joes won the day and made the sandbox safe again, there the Bush doll was, front and center, looking splendid and unruffled in pristine army fatigues. Evidently it'd been playing dress-up all week with my sister's Ken doll but was right there to take the credit for the GI Joe's victory.

My GI Joes are all saying that the GW Bush doll is stealing money out of their pockets and giving it to my sister's Ken and Barbie dolls. I didn't believe this at first, but this afternoon I spied a nice, new dollhouse in my sister's room and now I'm thinking it must be so.

I'm certain you can understand my desire to return this toy to you. Your quality control supervisor must be asleep on the job. Frankly, I don't know why you even produced this doll in the first place. If you value your reputation at all, you will recall it immediately.

More at link. Worth reading.

6. Now I know what a bunch of little Freepers are getting for Christmas.
Edited on Sun Aug-17-03 04:19 PM by DemoTex
Due to extremely high demand, we will ship your Elite Force Aviator: George W. Bush - U.S. President and Naval Aviator 12" Action Figure based on the date you placed your pre-order. If you pre-ordered on or before 4:00 p.m. EDT on August 12, 2003, your order will be available to ship by September 15, 2003.
If you pre-ordered after 4:00 p.m. EDT on August 12, 2003, your order will be available to ship by October 15, 2003.
If you pre-ordered after 3:00 p.m. EDT on August 16, 2003, your order will be available to ship by October 31, 2003.


Bizarro!


BTW: Let's get this straight for the record. George W. Bu$h is not a Naval Aviator, never was a Naval Aviator, and never will be a Naval Aviator; not in this life, anyway. He was an AWOL peter-pilot from the Texas Air National Guard (TANG). He's not really the president, either.

8. Why do I get the feeling-
...That more than a few of those bastard dolls are going end up in people's asses?

and there will even be some proctologists with great party stories about how they were consulted after the head popped off in there.

10. Why do I get the feeling
That Bush did this because he desperately wanted the words "George W Bush" and "12 inch" to appear together in the same sentence?

9. How much money
is Bush getting from this? I'd like to know some details of this, or could there be some sort of deal in association with the election?

Smells fishy, tastes fishy, it's Dubya
