ceebeegeeArticle about the hell of toy assembly
Barbie and all her accouterments--This isn't about her overly large bust and exceedingly long legs and all that usual nonsense. This is about what Barbie represents: the evil of accessories... Perhaps the most hideous of the Barbie contraptions is the Barbie Airplane, dubbed "Hair Force One" by one miserable daddy. It comes with Coke cans and serving trays and a drink trolley. It comes with a coffee pot and mugs. It even comes with ice--so tiny you can't really see it, but you certainly feel it when you step on it in a darkened kitchen at 1 a.m.
...
Talking books--They come in many forms. "Sesame Street." "Barney." "Winnie the Pooh." "Dora the Explorer." "Finding Nemo." Push the buttons and they'll talk, or they'll sing. Loudly. Very loudly. So loudly that the Sight & Hearing Association has multiple examples on its 2004 Noisy Toys List, noting that some exceed 100 decibels. Merry Christmas! Now you're deaf.
