Product Displacement...


 ...


So y'know, that's me at the cheapo department store. Caloundra, QLD. Land of the decrepit living, soon to be dead.

Okay, okay. Yer too cleva, it isn't actually me. I've never posted a photo of myself online. Anywhere.

Ever.

If I had, however caught a snapshot of myself at the cheapo department store, Caloundra, QLD - Land of the decrepit living, soon to be dead (there's a lotta' oldies is what I'm tryina' say), that's exactly what I'd look like.

Why?!

Maybe it has something to with Dr. John Jones. Er... I mean, Indiana Lennon. Er... I mean Indiana Jones the Outlaw. No, wait... John Lennon the Cowboy.

Ah, hell. I don't even know what I mean anymore, China! Thanks for that.

"Whip it! Whip it real bad!"
Oh, man. C'mon, some kids gotta' go to school.
History teacher is gonna' say, "And so who was John Lennon?"
Everett or Elma replies, "Oh, John Lennon was an outlaw cowboy, later portrayed by Harrison Ford and shot by the hero Mark David Chapman for a $15, 000 reward."
Skip twenty years, now Everett's a suicidal salesman, and Elma turns tricks on the corner at dusk.
Cause they didn't learn shit. Thanks, toys. Thank you!


Anyway, $2.99.

Or, eh! Spend .49c less and get more packaging (however that works)


I guess you miss out on the packaging image of two cowboys (ripped straight from a video game I assume), but at least you get the words 'playset' printed on there. Twice. In case you needed to be informed of the fact.

Yes, rihia2k has begun bitching, but c'mawn some moderately intelligent human being had to greenlight this nonsense in the boardroom.
"Ah, they'll never notice it's Indy. Or that I painted this silk tie directly onto my shirt. We shall make nearly $2.50 several hundred times, riches I tell you, riches!!"

Wow, they banned Django Unchained Dolls? And yet this playset teaches kids what exactly outside of Bang-Bang? Go figger.
