Amazon: Playmobil Security Check Point Reviews


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. My son said "that's the worst security ever!". 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 (it comes with a cute little memo from George Bush).

Amazon: Bic Crystal Ballpoint Pen Reviews


Worked fine with my right hand, but when I came to use my left hand my writing came out looking like the work of a complete imbecile. I can only assume Bic have created a right-handed only pen, and would caution left-handers to "try before you buy".

I am slightly offended as to why pens have to be specified as a masculine object. Please, consider introducing a range of titpoint or fannypoint pens as soon as possible.

Crystal? It's not made of crystal at all! I bought this 'Crystal' ballpoint in good faith, only upon receipt did I begin to suspect the description is misleading! I've had this so-called 'crystal' pen sent away for analysis (at a cost of £700.00 which I think is extremely good value for money) only to find it's made of some petroleum-based semi-synthetic extruded polymer of high molecular weight...I think the lab called it 'plastic' in their summary 348 page report.
I'm disappointed in the highly misleading product description and think this product should be banned for legal reasons.

Following the complete lack of warnings not to give this to children under 6 months, I have given it to my son Dwayne-Wayne as a teething comforter. OK, so sucking the ink through the small hole in the side may have given him black gums and teeth, but then he would be getting those by age 5 anyway once he starts his 40-a-day habit and subsists on drafts of Poca Pola (or something like that). I would, however, criticise the strength of the plastic - the top passed through the gut harmlessly, but the clear body has broken into shards and his mother, Kylie-Tropicana, is complaining that she is cutting her fingers every time she changes his non-biodegradable plastic poop collectors and chucks them in the back garden for the rats. We were wondering....can we take out the actual inky bit so Dwayne-Wayne could use it to slurp his Sunny Delight through?
