Dustyhawk :: Broken Mirror

You know, this is going to be so funny when Märklin (or Maerklin) starts to produce this toy tank in mass quantities. What is this tank ? Well it is a remote control tank by German toy maker Maerklin, the additional feature to this tank is a camera that is attached to it as well as a headset with a small tv to see what the camera is looking at.

The camera is located at where the canon is and from that picture, the position is oh-so-wrong. Judging from the image, Serge says this will be a toy for those age 8-10 and because it is a tank.. it will be for the boys. For giving a doll to a guy is wrong !.

Little boys at the age of 8-10 is at the age of curiosity. The age where they ask about where they came from, pointing to maybe a penis and asking what is that, etc. With this tank, HELLO NURSE !, move tank forward under a girl wearing a skirt and you can bet your Budweiser that they are going to ask, “Daddy, daddy.. why is there a hole underneath and not a tube thingy like daddy?”.

The humility will be tremendous not for the child but for the parent, especially if the question was stated when a guest is in the house. Of course like all things there will be some benefits of the camera, but Serge cannot think of any right now.

Talk is cheap : something feels wrong now
