They're super-heroes.  What are they gonna do, tell the Juggernaut to take some anger-management classes?  Ain't that a bitch?

I don't really get the outrage on the figures, either.  They're characters from a popular movie, which drives some collectible markets into a frenzy.  There's nothing particularly racist about the toys themselves, they aren't cast like some vaudeville black-face caricature and, if you were unaware of the movie and saw…

Except that he's right… it doesn't shut people up, it just leads them to making ad hominem attacks or setting up straw-man arguments after their ass gets handed to them.  I'd say, rather than often, *sometimes* a BTLer has a valid counter-point, but far less often than many BTLers would like to believe.
