Lego WMD conspiracy!

Thats right. I was at my nephews at the weekend (age 6). I
had to deliver a present a relative couldn't get to him over
xmas and so handed him a very typical, nicely wrapped, if
belated, box type-thing.

He opened it and to my joy i found it was a little Lego toy
- a vehicle of some sort. My nephew, appreciating the
creative possibilities of those little lumpy plastic bricks,
immediately tore open the cellophane and emptied the
contents onto a smooth work area, ready for assemblage
according to the instructions - and at a later date,
deseemblage, according to that primeval force in all of us -
in the time-honoured fashion.
I generally left it to the little tyke to be totally
immersed in his cognitive excercise, only offering nuggets
of advice as required: "Thats for the wheel", "You shouldn't
have to force the pieces together" and "i suppose his balls
ARE plastic too.."

As i casually glanced down at the box to check out how the
final product was supposed to look - minus the
mock-landscape on the cover - which was never included in
the contents - i noticed that the box had no title, mearly a
serial number of some sort - AS293 or something. The vehicle
this represented, on closer inspection, turns out to be a
lorry, with a normal enough looking front cab, pulling a
trailer of what can be nothing less than a consignment of
Weapons of mass destruction! There are a few grey conical
war-heads and some drums! What else could they be? The mock
landscape was desert coloured and the colour of the truck
was Hazmat yellow!

I can only conclude that this was a n attempt by lego to say
"look... WMD's are an everyday occurence"... just like their
damned pirate-ships! Lego: i hurt my toes on your carelessly
thrown bricks and am also hurt by your attempt at
child-mind-corruption. In league with Bush you are! anyone
else out there find dodgy right-wing lego items? KKK sets?
There-are-no-fumes-from-our-factories kits?
