Pink Frisbee Vs. GI Joe
Posted by Raven on December 9th, 2005
The ladies, ooops I meant cows from Code Pink are on a roll…a campaign to discourage people from buying “war toys”…whatever that is. I assume this would be things like GI Joe figurines and the like. Code Pink is about to meet it’s match…CODE RED, WHITE and BLUE. I’m encouraging everyone to pick up a couple JOES while they’re out shopping this year, and if you don’t have a young man who would like that, give it to the local Toys for Tots program.
Below are five great ideas and actions you can take to
Say NO to War Toys!ATTENTION SHOPPERS!
Dress up in awesome pink camouflage gear or wear a fun holiday costume like an elf and stand outside stores that sell war toys with anti-war toy banners reminding gift buyers to shop responsibly. Hand out flyers to shoppers about why they shouldn’t buy them and give them suggestions for alternative gifts they can purchase for the little ones in their lives.

Place “surgeon general-type” warning labels on war toys in the stores. Simple mailing labels that you can print off at home are perfect for this action. Use the samples below or get creative and design your own.GET SOME CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Get a bunch of friends to go with you to each buy a war toy, and then go back to the store later to return them. Create long complaint lines, showing other customers (and hopefully you’ve called the media) why war toys are bad. Talk directly to store owners and managers and ask them to stop selling war toys. Tell them you and your friends are considering no longer shopping at the store if war toys continue to be sold. Make buttons that say, “Say No to War Toys” or “War is Not a Game” and offer them to the employees.TEACH PEACE THROUGH PLAY
Ask your child’s teachers to talk about the negative impact of war toys and start a campaign to ban war toys on the school playground. Suggest a toy exchange for the school, where children turn in their war toys and get some cool, peaceful toy like a hot pink Frisbee. Make it a class project and involve the children in setting it up.POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT
Talk to your child about violent toys and why they are harmful; then ask them to help you select a gift that promotes peaceful play to donate a gift to a program that provides holiday presents for children from families with limited resources.
Isn’t this nice? The Pink Mamma’s want to annoy shoppers, cause scenes at retail outlets, teach little kids that a frisbee can save the world (a hot pink one!) and…promote peace toys…what the hell is this? Do they make little white dove figurines?? Screw Pink. Go with the Red, White and Blue.

Code Pink’s “Warning.”
I was reading about Code Pink’s “warning flyer” that they were promoting over at Raven’s place and at Michelle Malkin’s. I’m not quite sure what everyone is so up in arms about. After all, the document (aptly named “WarToyFlyer.pdf”) looks…

Don’t know if this is related but some people in my town have taken to placing plastic army men around local stores with signs attached to them sayng, “Bring me home for Christmas.”

As I suggested over at Ogres: perhaps they should make Muther Sheehan dolls, so that the Ann Coulter doll could blow them the F@&K away. :twisted:

Isn’t it illegal to make a fake surgeon generals warning? Isn’t going in a store and placing stickers on items you haven’t bought vandalism at the least?
Shouldn’t a squad of paintball gun totin’ patriots swarm a code pink meeting and “paint” the ladies with red, white and blue spots?

i have been watching GI Joe cartoons since childhood. a year ago, i was thinking why Hollywood has not yet created a movie version of GI JOE. I am very happy now that i can watch a movie version of my favorite cartoon show.
