War on Toys

We all now pretty much know that the AP got duped into running with the story about and American G.I. (Joe) captured in Iraq. It didn't take long for the blogosphere to determine that something wasn't right with the picture. Within hours of the story's emergence, doubts started arising and finally a toymaker came out with the evidence to crush the claims. The "soldier" was actually a doll and the whole thing a hoax.

This seems to be very indicative that the "insurgents" (read terrorists) are running out of effective mechanisms for turning the tide in Iraq. They've also recently resorted to trying to "trick" people into becoming suicide bombers, and when that fails they're resorting to using the mentally handicapped (yes, I know that's not a politically correct term).

Closer to home, people are taking their ire out on dolls here in America. Latino groups are now criticising the Marisol doll. COME ON PEOPLE, WE'RE TALKING DOLLS HERE!!!!!
