I was browsing google looking for pictures for a project I'm doing on the Cold War when I encountered this.......

COLD WAR UNICORNS......."COMMIE" VS "FREEDOM"

I think that this is pretty lolz....but at the same time it's kinda brainwashy

but what does NSG think of this blatantly obvious attempt at playing politics with children?

I believe these kinds of products are less for actual children and more for older "children at heart" political-savvy collectors. Y'know. Something strange and funny to put on the bookshelf or desk.

The red one looks much cooler, because it's simple. The stars&stripes one looks 'over the top' to me ;)

Oh wait... that wasn't what you were asking :p

I wonder if they're really sold...


And for the rest, it is good to inform kids about politics... but I'm not sure if toys are the best way to do that.

I don't think it's aimed at children in the first place. I mean, unless that was off the Toys R Us website.

Politics is a toy, silly :)

Those are some damn butt-ugly horses.

Naw..I looked at their website..looks more like gag toys and off-end things. (i.e., a baby with a cig in its mouth, t-bone air freshener...)

That Commie unicorn looks freakin' awesome compared to the "Freedom" one.

I concur. Revolutionary Scarlet is so striking.

Stars and Stripes is silly.

$6 for a six-pack of gum?!

LOL.

The Commie unicorn does look better than the Freedom one.

Well, the baby with the cig in its mouth is understandable. Who wants a nerdy baby?

COMMIE!! :D

Or simply someone who likes red ;)

Again like he said, Commie :D.

Just because I don't support private property doesn't make me a Commie... Oh, wait... ;)
