Life Comes With Little Claw-Shaped Rubber Gloves

Amazon has a listing for a Playmobil Security Checkpoint.
It's not real (The vendor is listed as "by Toys - not a real vendor (test account)"), but the customer reviews are pretty hilarious. Here are some:
Wow! So much better than playing school or house for brainwashing—-I mean, acclimatizing today's tots to the realities of the Global War on Terror. I especially appreciated the enclosed signed photo of Michael Chertoff and his letter explaining how necessary it is to start educating today's youth early with toys like these, especially as their elders just don't seem to be taking the whole thing seriously, what with posting snarky reviews on Amazon and all, and it's going to take a while to get KBR's re-education camps in Nevada up and running properly. I know my little four year-old grandson was really impressed with this set. He's now so scared it's undone a whole year of potty training and he's now wetting his pants about five times a day.
I've heard that they were going to publish a coupon and code, to allow us to buy this for $9.11, they're just waiting for the economy to drop a little more then it currently is. Its a marketing thing I know... In addition they plan on offering a collectors verision that will have the metal detector painted GOLD, though the'll have to use lead based paint because its cost effective. I love toys :-)
This is just a sop to the authoritarians among us. I am holding out for the release of the Guantanemo Playset. Hopefully this will come with an extrordinary rendition option.
You should go and check it out before Amazon pulls it.

They better sell the GITMO one in the next week, cause the new Pres said it's closing down starting in less than a week.

It is actually a real product. http://www.playmobil.de/on/demandware.st…
And this has been on the blogosphere since like 2005.

The vendor info has been updated and a Playmobil SKU# has been put in. IT'S FOR REALS, PEOPLE!
However, I can see that this set is missing the Probulator™ accessory for use on Brown People™.

That is great but take a peak at their other offerings. I think the Safe Crackers are my favorite.

They claim the conveyor belt really works.
If your kid loses the little pieces, a replacement pistol is part no. 30 03 0720, and a replacement wand is part no. 30 23 7730
