As an addendum to October's month-long poetry sequence, Angry Villager Anthology, I just wanted to post about this amusing "toy" I stumbled across online. It's called the Angry Mob Playset, and includes the figurines of nine lethal provincials.
Even better than the playset itself, though, is the accompanying product description. As wryly noted on stupid.com: "Great for intimidating your action figures and teaching children the concept of mob rule."
Meanwhile, the product page at neatoshop.com sports the following bizarre bit of ad copy: "Terrorize your little sister or your office mates, decorate a cake, and make your own angry villager diorama." To me, though, the kicker is the accompanying warning: "Not suitable for children under 3 years old." (So apparently these vigilante villagers can provide some good wholesome fun for any child age 3 or older.)
To adapt boxing promoter Don King's famous line: "Only in Gothic America..."
