Just found this on Amazon – the Playmobil Security Checkpoint. Take a quick look through the reviews and you’ll find gems such as this:
I was a little disappointed when I first bought this item, because the functionality is limited. My 5 year old son pointed out that the passenger’s shoes cannot be removed. Then, we placed a deadly fingernail file underneath the passenger’s scarf, and neither the detector doorway nor the security wand picked it up. … But it turned out to be okay, because when the passenger got on the Playmobil B757 and tried to hijack it, she was mobbed by a couple of other heroic passengers, who only sustained minor injuries in the scuffle, which were treated at the Playmobil Hospital.
The best thing about this product is that it teaches kids about the realities of living in a high-surveillence society. My son said he wants the Playmobil Neighborhood Surveillence System set for Christmas. I’ve heard that the CC TV cameras on that thing are pretty worthless in terms of quality and motion detection, so I think I’ll get him the Playmobil Abu-Gharib Interogation Set instead.
-and-
This toy goes very well with the other playmobil “political action figure” sets:
Playmobil Abortion Clinic
Playmobil Waterboard Funhouse
Playmobil Non Lethal Weapon Riot PoliceAnd of course the companion to this set:
Playmobil Body Cavity Search
But seriously, the most disturbing part of this is, under “customers who have viewed this item have also viewed”…
The Playmobil Police Getaway Car – which likely contains the type of miscreants that the checkpoint is intended to prevent from boarding a plane. From this product, you can find that people have also viewed The Father Pimp Costume - as ”costumes for all occasions”, which makes me wonder exactly how many occasions this particular costume would be for.
Other things that one would obviously view when viewing this product are, of course, the Inflatable Bondage Chair. Because nothing is more appropriate in a childs room than a little BDSM to help them relax at the end of the day (trust me – that was just as disconcerting to type as it is to read).
And of course, after playing all day with your TSA toys while strapping your little brother into your S&M furniture dressed as a priest/pimp, one builds up quite an appetite. So it’s no wonder that shoppers have also looked into Spotted Dick Sponge Pudding (whatever that is), and a Fresh Whole Rabbit. Mmmm. Them’s good eats. … you can get anything you want, at Amazon’s restaurant…
And finally there’s the Child’s White Zebra Pimp Suit Costume, the perfect companion to the Father Pimp Costume. Throw in the “Child’s Drug-Addled Prostitute Costume (with dirty syringe)”, and you’ve got a theme party for the whole family.
