Film My Son, the Terminator
Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Tue, Apr 14, 2009 at 12:18 PM
In less than a week, a new line of toys for the upcoming Terminator Salvation flick hits the shelves, and…
GAHHHH!!
Say hello to the "T-600 Voice n Vision Skull" ($29.99) which boasts "Terminator Sound FX and Voice Changer!" as well as "Light Up Eyes! Does Not Affect Vision!" Now, I fully expect my future child to rebel against me in some manner—for example, dressing up as a hippie, piercing his/her genitals, or reading the Bible—but I really don't know how I feel about my kid glorifying the goddamn robots who will eventually destroy the whole of human civilization. However, I will definitely buy this next product, the T-600 Power Fist ($24.99).
Hey, what I do in the privacy of my own bedroom is none of your goddamn business.
