#1 Lisy corporation should be renamed to Lazy corporation. How could you buy candy untasted. How could you buy toys site unseen. Toys are often recalled because some kid swallowed something. They should have checked. This is pathetic.

Although they've done us a favor by showing how many in China truly feel when they make this sort of garbage.

#2 "Importers did not realize what they were buying. They were buying assortments of toys and they get to people like us trying to sell authentic Mexican candies..."

Wow. I had no idea authentic Mexican candies were such a hot commodity.

#4 Don't you benighted, semi-literate Americo-fatties understand that the militaristic demonization of this harmless toy is deeply offensive to the deeply-rooted nuances of other, more benign and righteous, cultures?

The figure in the middle is not Osama. No, it is a Mayan representation of Santa Claus. The buildings are not the WTC, they don't have enough windows and the perspective is wrong.
Indeed, it suggests a kind of Hollywood monster movie motif, perhaps an indigenous version of Godzilla striking back at imperialist oppressors.

This connect-the-dots paranoia is frankly just another proof of American ignorance, evil, paranoia, poor physical culture, and, of course, racism and prejudice.
I have spoken, you must believe.
