Best. Toy (And Comments Section). Ever.

Just another kid’s toy over at Amazon, right? Not quite. The comments section got a little bit out of hand.

First, the product (click to enlarge).

And now, the main event. Some sampling of the comments.

I have two words for you, ‘predator drones.’ You will never see it coming.

You’ve had a busy play day – You’ve wiretapped Mom’s cell phone and e-mail without a warrant, you’ve indefinitely detained your little brother Timmy in the linen closet without trial, and you’ve confiscated all the Super-Soakers from the neighborhood children (after all, why does any kid – besides you, of course – even NEED a Super-Soaker for self-defense? A regular water pistol should be enough). What do you do for an encore?

That’s where the US Air Force Medium Altitude, Long Endurance, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) RQ-1 Predator from Maisto comes in. Let’s say that Dad has been labeled a terrorist in secret through your disposition matrix. Rather than just arrest him and go through the hassle of trying and convicting him in a court of law, and having to fool with all those terrorist-loving Constitutional protections, you can just use one of these flying death robots to assassinate him! Remember, due process and oversight are for sissies. Plus, you get the added bonus of taking out potential terrorists before they’ve even done anything – estimates have determined that you can kill up to 49 potential future terrorists of any age for every confirmed terrorist you kill, and with the innovative ‘double-tap’ option, you can even kill a few terrorist first responders, preventing them from committing terrorist acts like helping the wounded and rescuing survivors trapped in the rubble. Don’t let Dad get away with anti-American activities! Show him who’s boss, whether he’s at a wedding, a funeral, or just having his morning coffee. Sow fear and carnage in your wake! Win a Nobel Peace Prize and be declared Time Magazine’s Person of the Year – Twice!

This goes well with the Maisto Extraordinary Rendition playset, by the way – which gives you all the tools you need to kidnap the family pet and take him for interrogation at a neighbor’s house, where the rules of the Geneva Convention may not apply. Loads of fun!

It’s like i’m sitting right there in the White House! This is the best toy ever. Finally, I can pretend that I’m a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize! t’s like I’m sitting right there in the White House with my very own kill list!

Helped me teach my son about the Imperial forces.

My son is very interested in joining the Imperial forces when he grows up. He says he’s not sure if he wants to help police the homeland or if he wants to invade foreign countries. So I thought a new Predator drone toy would be a nice gift for him. These drones are used both domestically and internationally, to spy on people and assassinate them at the Emperor’s discretion. He just loves flying his drone around our house, dropping Hellfire missiles on Scruffy, our dog. He kept saying that Scruffy was a terror suspect and needed to be taken out. I asked him if Scruffy should get a trial first, and he quoted Lindsay Graham, Imperial Senator: “Shut up Scruffy, you don’t get a trial!” I was so proud. I think I’ll buy him some video games that promote martial law for Christmas.

I really wanted to show my toddler that it’s okay to murder people and still come out a “hero” as long as you’re in an air conditioned trailer remotely operating a Predator Drone 10,000 miles away in Pakistan.

Completely ineffective – more evidence of America’s decline.

I’ve read a lot about these drones in Wired and on Mother Jones. They are supposed to be “a new paradigm of lethality to wage battle in a world without uniformed beligerents.” Total BS!

I’ve got these neighbors who’ve I suspected to be terrorists for awhile. And their kids are constantly yammering out in the street. I swear they’re plotting stuff. Plus they keep throwing dirt clods against my garage when I’m at work. So I read about how these drones kill terrorists. I go on Amazon. Bing, bang, boom. I get this puppy in the mail.

So one day, the kids are yelling and screaming, running around like a bunch of maniacs. And I’ve had it. So I take this drone, this instrument of lethality, and I throw it at their living room window. Not only does it not blow them up, but it barely cracks their window, and I end up getting a vandalism citation from the cops.

Well, it turns out they were Sikh, but that’s not the point. This country is going in the crapper, not only because of my neighbors’ kids, but because Amazon sells this stuff that does not work.
