The main thing to takeaway from this is how godawfully annoying both the song and cover are. Though I think the GoldieBlox version wins that battle, simply because making children sing a song increases the annoyance by a factor of ten.

A lot of people were sad and angry about The Beastie Boys' response to the use of their song. But their reaction was perfect. They did NOT sue GoldieBlox, simply demanded that they stop using their music to promote their product. The Beastie Boys decided a long time ago not to allow their music to be used for…

But who will I burn in effigy now? All this rage built up for nothing.

The product is awful. That is the problem. Looks and feels like a prototype. Aesthetically, it is a hot mess and the book included is insulting and sexist. I purchased one for my daughter and one for a friend's daughter and both girls were unimpressed. Both were returned.

The ad is for...pink blocks. Not impressed. It's the beginning of the pandering pink baiting they'll get for the rest of their lives. From the GB website, "by tapping into girls’ strong verbal skills, our story + construction set bolsters confidence in spatial skills." Excuse me? Stereotype much?

Seems like the answer is a resounding "no!" get yale on the phone, i just did a pretty interesting study.

NO! What a P.O.S.

Hit me is slang in poker for deal me another card, I guess in the context of the song it's give me another chance?

If you think that's tasteless, just think about that time their agent pitched a cover of the Talking Heads song "Burning Down The House."

Don't even get me started on the cost of boys' toys. My brother and I collect Transformers and they are freaking high. I'm going to buy brodicon a Target exclusive that's over $60.

I did not know that. Thanks for the education.

I wondered this exact thing when I saw it- why keep bad dream and evil spirits on your skin? I used to have night terrors (which were really seizures, but I digress) and my grandfather who is half Native American taught me how to make dream catchers. He also encouraged me to make them for friends as long as I told the…

This. When the Patriots play in the conference championship game my husband takes the kids out so they don't interupt (1 TV) or learn interesting metaphors to use on Monday at school.

I have absolutely no idea why a Luke Cage and Iron Fist movie isn't on Marvel's phase 3 movie list. I'd do that before either Doctor Strange or Black Panther. Buddy action kung-fu movie with superheros? I say get Quentin Tarantino to direct and you've basically got a license to print money.

It's difficult for me to express how important superheroes are to me without sounding like a supernerd. So I'll just tell you all that I am a supernerd to start off and get that out of the way. Superheroes are a really big deal to me.

Ugh. I'm not surprised by this, given Marvel/Disney basically forgetting that one of the main characters in Avengers is a woman and therefore not merchandising her AT ALL. (At least here in the UK, the main toys available are Hulk, Captain America, Iron Man and Thor. If you're lucky you'll find a Hawkeye. No Black…
