...organizations who have some goal you agree with, but who are insane?

I think PETA is the poster child for this type of organization. I think we can all agree that people should be nice to animals. But shit like pouring paint over people in fur coats, wearing KKK outfits to dog shows, etc, is just way beyond the pale.

I just found this one, too. They're attacking Scholastic for including non-books in their school book clubs. Uh, folks, stop acting like it's something new. That was the way they did things when I was in elementary school. But the page I linked to directly above is the best. "Worst toy of the year." An $80 Barbie that's clearly meant for adult collectors, or Lego Batman? Wow. I'd like my kid's life to not be one massive exposure to brand names and ads, but isn't that a little much?

yes, I agree with the PETA Thing. I think animals should be treated fairly, but way oerboard with their protests.

And shit, Scholastic has been selling stickers and posters since I was in elementary school. Feckin cawkbags

That's just sad. And worst part is there acronym: TOADY (Toys Oppressive And Destructive to Young Children). Ummm...did they kinda forget the "C"? I know you can leave of a "T" if it's the "to" or "the" but the "C" in "children" is kinda important. But I guess using "TOADYC" wouldn't sound the same as the original "TOTY". Fucking retards. That's the BEST way to teach your children! If it doesn't fit what you need then don't include it!
