The fast food giant’s latest giveaway for preschool boys features eight Marvel comic action figures. One, The Human Torch, is a man engulfed in flames. Another, The Thing, menacingly roars “IT’S CLOBBERIN’ TIME!” at the press of a button. i know it's been discussed in the kids these days thread but i hate it when certain parents tend to think that everything that shows the slightest hint of violence will cause a kid to hurt someone. i know wrestling has been blamed, human torch was taken out of the fantastic four tv series, GTA getting blamed for a whole lot of stuff. But aren't they the same people who grew up on VERY violent cartoons such as tom and jerry and the looney toons?

When I was a kid a friend's mom would not let him watch the three stooges because she thought it was too violent.

Beyond that, if you don't like, don't buy. It's a very effective protest method and doesn't get people so hot under the collar.

Secret Agent Posts: 866 Group: Members Member #58 Joined: March 17, 2009	Yeah. Sulphuric is worse though. HCl will at least stop. Sulphuric goes though bones.
