I love how Wes Clark called Bush a "phony" for wearing that flight suit. Also, yesterday Doonsbury made fun of Bush for the silly flight suit. Hopefully the White House is on notice that the suit has begun to mean ridicule...

He looks like to me like Jeff Tracy, founder of International Rescue (Thunderbirds), but, unfortunately the comparison ends at looks. According to his bio: "Intelligent, kindly and with a sense of humour, Jeff also exhibits the ability to be decisive and stern when the situation demands. Now 56, Jeff is absolutely dedicated to the goals of International Rescue and rarely allows himself the luxury of time off from his duties."

I'd love to, if I had bothered to save it. I made the mistake of assuming it was an automatic form, but being a mostly-kids site, I can't really imagine they'd do that (or if they did, I'll bet they put in a "review" process really quick).
However, I'll quote what I remember putting down:
Title: Tasteless and inappropriate
Please describe your experience: My experience with the footage of our president, who abandoned his duties as a Guardsman during Vietnam, was one of shame and anger. I find it rather inappropriate that someone would actually make a child's toy commemorating the false image of our duty-shirking president as a war hero. Mr. Bush dishonors the memory of our brave soldiers who fight in his unjust war.
I gave it half a star ("very poor").

Caution: playing with this doll for prolonged periods of time may cause a rational person's head to explode.
This is somewhat OT, but did anyone see the Reuters story on the Iraqi kid whose arms were blown off? He gets new arms, blah, blah, but here's the kicker: he got a souvenir US Army hat!!! Lucky ducky! "Here kid, we blew your FUCKING arms off but we'll give you a hat instead! Oh, wait, guess that isn't so practical since, without arms, you can't put the hat on or take it off!"
What child would ever include "President George W. Bush Elite Force Aviator Action Figure" on his or her Christmas list?
And will it be listed next to the forward command post toy in the JC Penny catalog?

This fully poseable figure features a realistic head sculpt, fully detailed cloth flight suit, helmet with oxygen mask, survival vest, g-pants, parachute harness and much more. The realism and exacting attention to detail demanded by today's 12-inch action figure enthusiast are met and exceeded with this action figure. This incredibly detailed figure is a fitting addition to the collection of those interested in U.S. history, military memorabilia and toy action figures. Actual figure may vary slightly from item shown.
Could they have possibly written a funnier blurb? I mean, "realistic head sculpt"? "Demanded by today's 12-inch action figure enthusiast"? And that "Acutal figure may vary slightly" sentence is just begging for parody.
(Hey, shouldn't Bill Pryor be campaigning against 12-inch action figure enthusiasts?)
And someone tell me why KB Toys would sell something that's intended not for children, but "action figure enthisuast"s.

My guess would be that they know where the money is. Think about collectibles - especially cards. People are willing to pay more for them than most parents are for their kids (how many parents do you think would buy their kids a 12-inch collectable doll for $40?).
Though I do agree, it's hardly a "toy".

I wouldn't recommend shoving this one down your pants. You'll develop a rash, and your performance as a lover will drop as fast as Dubya's poll numbers.
Does anybody remember SNL's Happy Fun Ball?
If Happy Fun Ball begins to smoke, get away immediately. Seek shelter and cover head.
Happy Fun Ball may stick to certain types of skin.
When not in use, Happy Fun Ball should be returned to its special container and kept under refrigeration...
Failure to do so relieves the makers of Happy Fun Ball, Wacky Products Incorporated, and its parent company Global Chemical Unlimited, of any and all liability.
Ingredients of Happy Fun Ball include an unknown glowing substance which fell to Earth, presumably from outer space.
Happy Fun Ball has been shipped to our troops in Saudi Arabia and is also being dropped by our warplanes on Iraq.
Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.

Swoosh: Snarling Martha? I like it, I like it a LOT. And you're right, I forgot to mention they killed his entire freaking family. But hey! He gets a very nice hat as a memento of the day his life changed.
So, the only problem with this being a valuable collector's item is that the doll has to be pristine. I imagine it might be difficult to find the doll without its head twisted off in 2100. I can hear it now on Antique's Roadshow: "This is remarkable, Blanche! We almost never see one of these dolls in good condition; the vast majority we see are mangled in some way or another..."

my review, for what it's worth:
Rating: 1/2 Star - Very Poor
Review Title: Is There a Rating Below 1/2 Star?
Review: Wow, in these increasingly surreal times when tax cuts are billed as a job creation package, when a war against a pathetic third world country is billed as defending the homeland, when a pro-business license to pollute is billed as a Clear Skies initiative, I guess a draft-dodging college cheerleader who failed to report for mandatory drug testing and was thusly grounded can be billed as a Naval Aviator. We won't even go into the fact that this pretzel fancier Did Not Even Fly the Plane for the Navy. I can see that yet another reason (apart from your cramped aisles, your appalling limited selection, and your high prices) has arisen to show me the wisdom of NOT shopping at KB. I think I will stick to Toys 'r Us in the future. Way to sell that propaganda!
