      <![CDATA[There were action figures for Inglorious Basterds, including the Nazi's.  A better question is why the screaming and shouting over this movie (and the action figures) yet no similar reaction to Inglorious?  Tavis Smiley did a whole long rant on the Daily Beast stating several times that Tarintino would never had made a spoof of the Holocaust and that Hollywood would never have allowed the sacred Holocaust to be depicted in anything except a somber way.  Apparently he never heard of Inglorious Bastereds, Springtime for Hitler, Seven Beauties, or Life is Beautiful.

There is a line that can be crossed and, unfortunately, it's easy to think of examples ("noose included" comes to mind...) If these respect the characters, then OK.

      <![CDATA[we need to just chill out and allow depictions, and words.  Seattle, you want to take a native american image, fine.  You want to start a business called the windsong yoga center and use native american themes, fine, unless they're copyrighted.  seahawks, use a totem pole type figure, don't pay the tribes, fine.  washington dc -- go ahead, use the name, it's hardly more offensive to say "redskins" than talk about whites and blacks, I mean we're talking about skin color omg!  <br>
<br>
what's far more important than discussions about toys and names is the fact that all DC residents don't have full voting rights; ditto puerto rico; the energy spent on this issue by so called anti racists and so called progressives is about ZERO -- and this is far more important than toy and word or name issues.<br>
<br>
similarly, the war on drugs is racist, there are black people in jail right now for pot possession, we just legalized it for us, but what about them:?  isn't it a bit racist to keep them in jail now?  isn't that more fucking important than toys?
