In the news today we have.

1. Kids throwing debris off of motorway bridges and killing people.

2. People vandalising and poisoning emergency water supplies for flood victims that have had very little water for over two weeks.

3. A group of really thick people complaining about a group of toys that have been around for twenty three years because they happen to be from a 12a rated film.

These people (Item 3) are SICK, and need to look at their priorities. There are a lot worse things happening under their noses. Its about time they joined the real world.

.......Why am I not suprised? Just last week the stupid brit government banned Mario Party 8 because it contained the word "spastic". They claim it offensive. And "ninja" was also a offensive word back in Ninja turtle days. They were relabeled HERO Turtles over there. Stupid Brit censors.

whoa crazy! you gotta be 12 to watch TF! here in the states you gotta be 13 to watch the movie. for crissakes, 12 year olds arent even teenagers and theyre watching a violent movie such as transformers. haha. i bet american 12 year olds wish they lived in the UK after being denied to buy a ticket to TF. haha, i still sometimes get carded when i watch and R rated flick; getting carded lowers self esteem

...I'm a bit illiterate when it comes to TF toy terms since I only go for the cartoons and comics, so could someone explain what's so amusing about the "die-cast" thing?

'Cause we have not see true TFs with diecast since the early days of generation one. The only ones that have had it lately are the TItanium series, both the 6 inch and 3 inch. Oh and I suppose the re-issues had die-cast too.

Ah. Thanks, tigertracks 24.

Au contraire, Silver Wind! Some pressure group tried to get Teletubbies taken off the air because of the overt homosexual symbolism surrounding Tinky Winky. I really wish I was making that up.

Whoops, I forgot about that. (I can still remember reading a short item about that in "The Edge" on the front page of The Oregonian's Living section some years ago. Sad, but true.)

Just read the mirror's 'review' of the film here: http://www.mirror.co.uk/showbiz/enterta ... -19518514/

Laughed out loud at this

"... with the shelves of Toys R Us positively creaking under the weight of die-cast models of those robots in disguise..."

Die-Cast!?!?!?

My die-cast toys weigh a few ounces. LOL! They are like 2 1/2 inches tall. OOOH!!

Just a bunch of lazy parents. Just go and watch Super Nanny which also happens to take place in UK.

Always someone hating the toys kids get with their meals.
Last time it was over little Electronic handheld games that were given out with McDonalds happy meals. The complainers said it encouraged obesity.
