Hot Wheels are BAD!!!

"The 2007 Hot Wheels lineup includes fun muscle cars and speed demons, but omitting practical and fuel-efficient vehicles sends the wrong message to kids" (http://blog.wired.com/cars/2006/11/toy_cars_lack_f.html)

I read this snippet today while browsing Google Reader and probably overreacted.

hot wheels shouldn't have to send messages to kids
doesn't anyone ever take responsibility themselves anymore??
how about PARENTING??
oh right.... i forgot. we live in a society of blame and frivolous lawsuits

these are some hot wheels from when i was a kid. they aren't the "practical" OR "fuel-efficient." that is SO not the point of hot wheels. besides... i turned out to be a conscientious gas consumer... no toy car is gonna tell me what to do!
