'Another One Bites the Dust', surely?

a) Because of labour laws that mean young children can only work a few hours at a time.
b) The younger you cast, the more of a risk that the kid will grow up to be a shitty actor. 12-16 you can kind of tell if the actor is good or not, 8-12 you're rolling the dice.
c) Sansa being married off to Tyrion, or Dany to Drogo,

He was a teacher for a few episodes in season 3 of Community.

Okay last post before I'm out of the thread, promise.

I've tried to respond to this post twice, and been deleted twice :(

Okay, so forget the sex toys bit, which was a dumb example to highlight why 'it's not exclusively a kids toystore' is a dumb argument.

a) Those are fantasy/sci-fi/not real world characters.
b) The most recent Terminator and Robocop movies are PG-13. As for the others, I don't think they should sell movie tie-in toys for R-rated movies either.
c) I've looked through the Toys R Us website, and at least in the UK, they do not sell any action figures tied

So would it then be appropriate to sell dildos, vibrators, blow-up dolls and other sex toys in Toys R Us? After all, it's a store for everyone, not just for kids, right?

If it's a toy, being sold in Toys R Us, it's being marketed to kids regardless of what section they put it in.

Well, I guess I was literally asking for it.

This is a fair-ish point I suppose, although it's different insofar as all of those are fantasy/sci-fi/not the real world characters. And that the most recent Terminator and Robocop movies which the toys will be tied to are PG-13

It's an action figure from a series for grown-ups where a child is murdered for being inconvenient and then has his corpse dissolved in a barrel of acid. Among many other things. Call me Polly Prissypants, but I don't think it's appropriate to sell Breaking Bad toys to kids.

Really surprised this isn't the prevailing view. Pixelated is pretty much a bikini. If you sign a contract that says your junk won't be shown, and they show your junk, you should be able to sue.

I heard Matt on Bret Easton Ellis's podcast, and from the sound of it his wife played a big role in turning the hundreds of hours of tour footage into a decent story. I think she was/is a short story editor at the New Yorker or something like that.

I dunno. I've played Goldeneye and Mario Kart recently on a 64, having never really played one, and they were basically unplayable to me due to the controls. And I'm good at games (not good-good, but better than my friends good). It was just utterly baffling to me.

I liked the original, pre-thumbstick one, even though it was very light and plasticky. The PS2 controller sucks balls, they should really just move the left thumbstick, but I guess they don't because it'd be like admitting the Xbox controller is better. The Xbox 360 controller is basically a perfect controller, except

Is anyone a rock star any more? I can't think of any post-2000.
