A CYNICAL LOOK AT THE DAILY GRIND

TRANSFORMERS FOR GOD

Wal-Mart is going to start selling faith-based toys.


It's the first time a full line of religious toys (from One2believe) will be offered at a mass market retailer, other than in specialty religious stores.

The world's largest retailer is targeting parents who would rather their kids play with a Samson action figure than Spider Man.

God only knows, there's a lot to be said for a long-haired, super-strength action figure that can kill tons of Philistines, sleep with a prostitute, and fall in love with a traitor before having his eyes gouged out and sent to grind grain.

A Samson toy is sure to bring down the house.



In the long run, religious toys won't be any different than other toys. They all end up in the bottom of a toy box, while some kids prefer to play with everything they're not supposed to play with.

Oh, come on, now Diana. If there were no Samson we wouldn't have gotten to see Tarzan (Victor Manure) cavorting on the silver screen with the world's most beutiful woman -- Hedy Lamarr.

I think the actor was Victor Mature, not Victor Manure, though if I'm wrong I can't imagine this guy doing well at the box office with a name like that...

BTW out to lunch, I wish my action figure Jesus came with a kung fu grip or lightning bolts or something...maybe the upgraded version. Action Figure Jesus DS Advance III.
